Phychological intrigue as Kidderminster's Rose Theatre starts its autumn season with the thriller Dead Guilty.

The theatre's residential group, The Nonentities will be performing Richard Harris' gripping story about the relationship between a dead man's mistress and his wife.

Pat Taft publicity manager of the theatre, said the production - being staged between Monday, September 11, and Saturday, September 16 - would be "great entertainment."

"It should be a really enjoyable play which has a real twist in the tail," she said.

The Kidderminster Operatic and Dramatic Society will be providing the laughs during its production of Ray Cooney's comedy Not Now Darling - running between Wednesday, September 20 and Saturday, September 23.

On Sunday, September 24, audiences can take part in the Gilbert & Sullivan sing-along The Pirates of Penzance - For Fun.

Members of the audience will be taught songs, provided with programmes and scores and see a performance of light opera by professional singers.
