ALAN Ayckbourn's futuristic comedy Comic Potential is the next production by Raods amateur theatre group, at the Plaza Theatre, Romsey from next Tuesday.

Set in the not too distant future where TV soaps are cast with docile robots performing programmed storylines, it tells the story the story of a robot with distinctly human qualities that captures the heart of a young would-be comedy writer.

Comic Potential runs until Saturday October 11. Tickets cost from £4. Box office: 01794 512987.
