TEIGNMOUTH thespians found themselves caught up in two real life dramas when they were evacuated twice during an out of town festival.

The Teignmouth Players had to leave a pub when water began pouring through the ceiling, and a few hours later were ordered to quit a theatre after a bomb scare.

'It was almost like something out of Monty Python. To be evacuated twice in one day was quite farcical, and we all had a big laugh about it,' said Mary Fossey.
