VERY British screen star James Fleet comes to Malvern Theatres next week.

Fleet - famed for playing dim-witted Hugo Horton in BBC series The Vicar of Dibley and the bumbling Tom in 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral -- stars in new comedy In The Club. In the play, penned by Richard Bean, Fleet plays hapless MEP Philip Wardrobe - a man trying to balance his less-than-irreproachable political career with his attempts to start a family.

As Philip prepares for his girlfriend's visit, his plan to be voted president of the European Parliament is foiled at every turn by unpredictable colleagues.

Inevitably, Philip's personal and political life collide with comical results.

Starring alongside Fleet will be Huw Higginson (George Garfield in The Bill) and Carla Mendoca (Sophie in My Parents Are Aliens).

In The Club is staged at Malvern Theatres from Monday, February 18, to Saturday, February 23.

For tickets, priced £15 to £24 and £8 for under 25s, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk.
