A SPARKLING new comedy starring Patricia Hodge and Eleanor Bron comes to Malvern Theatres on Monday.

The Clean House, written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl, tells the story of Lane, played by Hodge of Rumpole of the Bailey fame.

While Lane has everything, including a successful surgeon husband and her own career as a doctor, all she wants is a clean house. Unfortunately, Matilde, the young cleaner from Brazil, hates to clean and instead spends her time dreaming up the perfect joke.

The poignant comedy, touring prior to its West End run, is at Malvern from Monday, February 25, until Saturday, March 1. For tickets call 01684 892277.
