WHAT is being billed as "a powerful courtyard thriller" is coming to Malvern Theatres, with a world stage premiere of "The Verdict".
The cast of fifteen will include Clive Mantle, Jack Shepherd and Richard Walsh, and the play asks what happens when a a washed up veteran lawyer and an alcoholic is presented with one last chance to redeem himself.
A spokesman said: "He is given an open-and-shut medical malpractice case that no one thinks he can win.
"Up against the unforgiving medical establishment and the all-powerful Catholic Church, he courageously refuses an out of court settlement, believing it is negligence that has condemned a young mother. Smelling a cover up, he instead takes the case and the entire legal system to court."
The plot was made famous by the five times OSCAR nominated Sidney Lumet film with Paul Newman and James Mason.
The play will run at Malvern Theatres from January 25 to January 28, from 7.30pm.
