MALVERN College has been forced to postpone performances of The Crucible due to illness.

James Robertson, a key member of the cast, was forced to pull out with a temperature of 104 degrees.

The performance was due to take place over three nights, starting on Tuesday.

Tickets were free for the Arthur Miller play, which was a virtual sell-out. It will now be staged at 8pm on Tuesday to Thursday, November 25-27.
