CATCH up with A Passionate Woman at Malvern Theatres.

Liza Goddard, of Bergerac and Yes Honestly fame, plays Betty, a passionate, doting mum who finds it hard to accept that her son is leaving home to get married.

A spokesman said: "On the morning of her son’s wedding, Betty retreats to her attic where she relives her long-lost youth and the love affair she had in the 1960s. "Surrounded by her memories and ghosts from her past, Betty finds herself torn between a husband she never loved, a son about to leave and the man she shared a passionate affair with."

The spokesman added: "Paul Milton, the Everyman’s Creative Director, directs this production “A Passionate Woman is a real feel-good play. It has a Shirley Valentine flavour to it: lots of romance, comedy and charm. It’s set in the present day, but has flashbacks to the 1960s.

"The writer, Kay Mellor, is well-known to television audiences – she wrote The Syndicate, Band of Gold and In The Club. The play was a West End hit in the 1990s and was televised in 2010."

A Passionate Woman will be appearing at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday March 28 March to Saturday April 1. Tickets are on sale at the Box Office 01684 892277 and online at malvern-theatres.co.uk
