THE wit and intelligence of Alan Ayckbourn, Britain's most popular comic playwright, comes to the Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, July 2, to Saturday, July 6, with Just Between the Lines, starring Les Dennis and Jean Boht.

Dennis is a DIY fanatic, incapable of fixing anything, least of all his disastrously fractured marriage. A combination of his relentless jolliness and ghastly mother are driving his wife round the bend. Set on four different birthdays in the chaotic garage where Dennis spends all his time tinkering around, this is a painfully funny portrait of British suburban life.

Performances are at 8pm with matinees Wednesday and Saturday 2.30pm. Tickets cost £18-£10 from the box office on 01684 892277 or www.malvern-theatres.co.uk
