A WILBERFOSS dramatic group has staged its first attempt at performing a thriller.

The group of 11 cast members has been rehearsing for Bonaventura, a play set in a Norfolk convent during the great floods of 1947. Wilberfoss Dramatic Society has been rehearsing every Thursday for three years at the Wilberfoss Community Centre.

Bonaventura was their "first shot at a serious play", after a pantomime and comedy last year.

Actor Gary Tavender said: "We hope that the audience enjoyed themselves. We've certainly enjoyed rehearsing for it."
