“HOUSEWIFE Superstar” and mother-of-five Mrs Barbara Nice will be offering her pearls of wisdom to Tewkesbury audiences this week. Mrs Barbara Nice – the comic creation of Birmingham-based actress and director Janice Connolly – will visit the Roses Theatre on Wednesday as part of her new tour Hiya and Higher.

In the popular new tour, Barbara sets out to deliver a few home truths about the state of society today. Connolly is probably best known for her role as Holy Mary in the hit Channel 4 series Phoenix Nights. Hiya and Higher will start at 8.30pm. Tickets cost £10 (£8 for concessions), available from the box office on 01684 295074 or online at rosestheatre.org.
