to arrive no later than Saturday, October 23.

Love Begins at 50 is about Anita and Clive, who have been married for 28 years. Clive has never been unfaithful, but as preparations for his fiftieth birthday party are underway, he wants one last fling.

He chooses three prospective partners from the Lonely Hearts column in the local paper. The same paper is offering a Caribbean cruise in a competition to find the perfect married couple.

Anita enters the competition and a photographer arrives to take the pictures of the happy couple just when Clive is busy entertaining one of his new dates. From that point onwards, things get a complicated!

The play is running at Weymouth Pavilion from Wednesday to Saturday, October 27 to 30 with performances at 7.45pm. Tickets are £8.50 plus concessions - call the box office on 01305 783225.
