DROPPED trousers, cross-dressing and attempted incest are just a few of the subjects about to be unleashed on Malvern.

Malvern Theatres is opening its summer festival with Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw, a bawdy sex-farce set in a mental institution. Focusing on the sexual antics of a doctor and his nymphomaniac wife, the play pokes fun at psychiatrists, the police, sex, authority and family relationships.

The production will feature Michael Pennington, co-founder of the English Shakespeare Company, and Jane Asher.

It is due to run from next Monday until July 7 and tickets are available by contacting the box office on 01684 892277.
