Fri & Sat June 17 & 18, 7.30pm
Darwen Library Players
Forget-Me Knot
The unforgettable comedy by David Tristam
Imagine the plight of poor Robert Zeinfeld. Found wandering the streets of Leicester at 4am, without even the slightest clue how he got there. Only a bruised head and a suspicious policeman for company - not an experience you’d forget in a hurry. Perhaps this Zeinfeld’s character’s not what he seems. Perhaps he’s got something to hide. Perhaps he hasn’t lost his memory at all.
