THE FILCHING of furs like a band of fur-filching Robin Hoods is the unusual theme of 'Breath of Spring', the latest offering from the Ledbury Amateur Dramatics Society.

A spokesman said: "When Dame Beatrice is given a mink shawl by her maid, the resident lodgers - a pension-minded brigadier, a vivid vocal coach, and a dithery chins restorer - band together with Dame “Bee” and her friend, to return the filched fur.

"That successful mission is quite an invigorating experience, prompting the eclectic group to form a Robin Hood like crime syndicate, which steal furs and gives the proceeds to charity. But when Scotland Yard gets wind of those high-minded thefts, things get even more interesting."

The dates for the diary are June 15 to June 17, from 8pm.
