A COMEDY set in the unlikely surroundings of a cemetery can be seen at Malvern's Festival Theatre from Monday.
The Cemetery Club, by Ivan Menchell, is the story of three 60-something friends, Lucille, Ida and Doris, who meet every month for tea and then visit the cemetery to remember the good times and 'gossip with their late husbands'.
A Malvern Theatres spokesman said: "With the arrival of Sam, a charming widower, the club is set to fall six feet under as their lives are changed forever with hysterical consequences."
The straight-laced Doris is played by Anne Charleston, best known as Madge from Neighbours and Shirley Ann Field, recently on ITV's Where the Heart Is, takes on the role of the flirty Lucille, on the lookout for a husband.
The frumpy Ida is played by Michelle Dotrice, famous as Betty from Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and she will be joined on stage by real-life husband Edward Woodward for the first time in twelve years.
Tickets for the production, which runs until October 25, cost £12-£20 from 01684 892277 or:
