A FAST-MOVING mystery farce begins a three-night run in Cookley tonight courtesy of the village's amateur dramatic society.

The Murder Room by Jack Sharkey will be staged in the Parish Hall in Lea Lane from tonight until Saturday.

Group spokesman Peter Biggs said it was "a fast-moving tale of murder and intrigue with a lot of comedy thrown in". It is set in 1950 in a Harrogate country cottage.

Tickets for the shows, which begin at 7.30pm, are £4.50 and available by calling 01562 851366 or from Pam's Hairstylists in Lionfields Road, Cookley.
