TWO local playwrights will have their latest play performed at Dorchester Corn Exchange on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th December, as part of the Dorchester Arts festive programme.

This Christmas, by Vince Jones and James Cuthill, is a heart-warming, feel-good, romantic comedy about love in later life, showcasing both the talents of the writers and a host of local actors.

The story unfolds on Christmas Eve when strangers Tim and Jenny meet on a train. Thinking they will never see each other again, they share the story of their lives, only to find that when they reach their destination, they have much more in common than they could ever have imagined.

Can family and friendship overcome past internet dating mistakes – and can this Christmas be the one they’ll always remember?

Vince and James are known for their successful play, Tipping Point, which was staged in Dorchester in 2018, and raised much-appreciated funding for Dorchester Arts. ‘

This Christmas is also a fundraiser and will run for three performances with a matinee on the Saturday.
