FINAL preparations are under way for the New Kinver Players' 86th production, Prescription for Murder.

The thriller, written by Norman Robbins, follows village doctor Richard Forth, who has an awkward friendship with his ex-girlfriend and a wife, Barbara, who has a mysterious illness.

When stranger Eric Dawson, turns up claiming to have known Richard's second fiancée - a woman Richard claims does not exist - the plot thickens and it seems somebody is out to kill Barbara, and anyone else who gets in their way.

The show will run at the Edward Marsh Centre from February 4 to 7, with performances at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available by calling 01384 872060.
