MURDER, mystery and merry mayhem will descend on Bromsgr-ove's Artrix theatre next week.

Theatre group All & Sundry will present its second show for audiences at the Artrix with the classic comedy thriller Arsenic and Old Lace.

The comedy is set during Halloween, providing plenty of scope for scary slapstick moments and hair-raising comedy.

The show is directed by Raph Aldis with the set constructed by Ian Page, a professional architect and set designer who has created the most sophisticated backdrop the group has seen.

Arsenic and Old Lace runs from October 26-29, with performances at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced £9.50 (£8 concessions), are available from the Artrix box office on 01527 577330.
