An amateur theatre group is set to perform a Tony award-winning musical in Cirencester.
TinkCo will put on five performances of Urinetown at The Barn Theatre from November 13 to November 16.
The musical, set in a dystopian world where water is scarce and a greedy corporation controls public restrooms, follows the plight of citizens who must "pay to pee".
The satirical musical focuses on their struggle for "freedom and dignity."

Directed by Barry Austin, the cast have been rehearsing for the show for three months.
Mr Austin said: "Supporting amateur theatre is not just a night of entertainment and a noble cause, but a unique opportunity to contribute to and be part of something special.
"It enriches communities, provides a platform for creativity and expression, and most importantly brings people together.
"It creates a space where people from different backgrounds can collaborate and connect and enjoy the hobby they love.
"It fosters long term friendships and sometimes even marriages."
A spokesperson for The Barn Theatre said: "This is a rare opportunity to see Urinetown in a local setting, performed by an amateur company known for its creative vision and award-winning productions."
