A LIVELY new translation of a classic play - and Britain's very first performances outside London will be at the Conquest Theatre, Bromyard until Saturday.

The vibrant new translation of Ibsen's Ghosts is the work of Richard Eyre, acclaimed former director of the National Theatre.

Its only previous performances were at the Almeida Theatre, London.

Ghosts goes on stage from Thursday, March 26 to Saturday, March 28.

It is produced by Here to There Productions and features professional actors from London and Gloucester as well as performers from Hereford, Worcester and Shropshire.

Helene's late husband fathered illegitimate children.

She hid the truth from the town, and deceived her artist son.

But he has just been told a deadly legacy will kill him soon.

The drunken carpenter and his daughter want things their way - and the moralising Pastor denies his own humanity.
