THE English Touring Theatre is back at Malvern's Festival Theatre this week with Alan Bennett's splendid work - The Old Country

Timothy West, Jean Marsh and Simon Williams star in this witty and bitter-sweet tale.

Timothy West plays Hilary, a man who has left behind a life of power and influence. When his sister and newly knighted brother-in-law come to visit him and his long-suffering wife, Hilary is forced to re-examine his allegiances.

Premiered in 1977 The Old Country runs until Saturday, March 4.
