Compton's Happy Acres health farm is far from a quality establishment...

It may be advertised as ‘A Quality Establishment’, but Happy Acres health farm is far from that, as Compton Players will show.

The domineering Mrs Comley and her sidekick Sam, the old oddjob man, are in charge of the worn out and tired buildings. Sam is running a moonshine whisky still from the garden shed.

They both spend their time trying to relieve the clientele of pounds, not from their waists but from their wallets.

Mrs Comley, in cahoots with Madame O, the struck-off hypnotist, allow the inmates to indulge in a spot of “harmless hypnotics”. That is until all the booking forms get muddled up and the punters become not quite what they expected!

A fast-paced, very funny comedy that all the family can enjoy, Happy Acres runs at Compton Village Hall from October 26 to 29.

It was written by H Connolly and the Players presented the premiere of this play 28 years ago directed by H.

This time it’s directed by Eric Saxton and two of the original cast (as well as the author) are in it again.
