A PLAY marking the 25th anniversary of the death of Sir Alec Guinness is coming to the Watermill Theatre in Bagnor.

Written by Mark Burgess and directed by Selina Cadell, Two Halves of Guinness stars Zeb Soanes as the actor, who starred in more than 70 films, becoming known for his roles in the Ealing comedies in the Forties and Fifties and later infamous, much to his distaste, for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope.

The play runs from Thursday, January 29 to Saturday, January 31 and tickets cost from £17.50.
