A THRILLER set just before the outbreak of World War Two is set to entertain a local audience.

Strictly Murder, written by Brian Clemens, is coming to Malvern Theatres for a five show run.

A spokesman said: "It's Provence, April 1939. An English couple, Peter and Suzy, are living in idyllic isolation; far, it seems from the rumblings of the oncoming war. Their peace is suddenly shattered by a stranger from Peter's past who unearths secrets from a buried and hidden life, which throws Suzy's world into turmoil. In a world where the Third Reich is emerging as a dangerous regime, deceit, lies and subterfuge make this fast paced thriller a dark and nail-biting rollercoaster."

The spokesman added: "Strictly Murder stars Brian Capron. Brian is probably best known for his role as Richard Hillman in Coronation Street, for which he won a clutch of awards, winning a record-breaking five at The Soap Awards including Best Actor and Best Villain."

Strictly Murder will be appearing at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday June 20 to Saturday June 24.
