The play, by Nell Dunn, is set in the Turkish room of a run-down baths in the East End of London, during the late 1970s.

A group of women meet at the baths once a week. When the building is threatened with closure they launch a campaign to save it.

The drama group celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2000. This is its second production in Eynsham's new village hall, where it recently won funding to install a new lighting system.

Spokesman Lisa Grosso said: "There are few things more rewarding than being involved in a successful live performance."

The performance starts at 7.30pm each night.
