A POTENT combination of powerful drama and plentiful laughs will bring one of the greatest comedy partnerships to life.

Pete and Dud: Come Again comes to the Malvern Theatres on Monday and Tuesday, fresh from an acclaimed West End run.

It tracks the ups and downs of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's famous double act, from their breakthrough work with Beyond The Fringe partners Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller, through to the outrageous Derek and Clive.

Against the backdrop of an 1980s chat show, the comedy, written by Nick Awde and Chris Bartlett, reveals why the pair were so endearing but also what eventually drove them apart. Tickets, priced between £12 and £18, from Malvern Theatres box office on 01684 892277.
