This autumn theatre fans are invited to join a brief bust of sunshine on a remote desert island.

Theatre company SS Simon and Jude's ADS is bringing 'All By Myself' in which audiences will enjoy a musical cocktail ­— served with a slice of comedy.

Stella Crank from the theatre company said: "Rather like a football match, the show 'All by Myself' is in two halves.

"It starts with an award-winning one-act comedy play by Robert Scott - a modern spin on the timeless classic 'Robinson Crusoe'.

"In which Larry has been stranded on an island, alone, destitute and without a friend.

"After four years he is close to the edge and dreams of company. But sometimes when dreams come true, they’re not what you expect…"

She adds: "Whilst the second half is a lively musical extravaganza of island-based songs and dances which provide a tasty tonic to the autumnal blues. This is the ideal show for people who would like to escape from the Halloween festivities."
