MOUTHPIECE Theatre Company's new season opens in a spine-chilling fashion with a supernatural thriller inspired by the Civil War and the Battle of Worcester.

The theme of The Bridge is the repeated patterns of human experience stretching across the centuries.

Tom and Lucy are on the run from a Worcester squat and hide away in an ancient house after being offered shelter by a stranger, but Lucy becomes convinced she has been in the room before - hundreds of years ago.

The Bridge runs at the Bulls Head Inn, Inkberrow, from next Wednesday until Sunday, November 3.

Tickets for Wednesday to Saturday, November 2 cost £8 or £15 for Sunday, November 3, including a three-course meal, from the box office on 01386 792233.
