A NEW play will raise funds for the renovation of an Ilminster Youth Theatre building.

‘Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons’ by Sam Steiner, will run at the Warehouse Theatre in Ilminster, and will support the Old Bakery Studio development.

The play follows the relationship of Bernadette and Oliver from their first meeting to them living together but with difficult circumstances.

A spokesperson said: “Sam Steiner has created a play that emphasises the importance of communication.

“The two characters have never excelled at talking things through. Imagine how difficult they find it when a hush law is introduced.

“It’s hard to get to know someone in one hundred and forty words a day. What would you choose to ask someone? What would you choose to tell them?

Charlie Huckett portrays Oliver. Charlie has just finished his studies at Holyrood, as well as completing his Grade 8 Acting exam for LAMDA, and is headed for Bath Spa in September to study Drama.
