PETER Gordon’s sequel to Murdered to Death, Secondary Cause of Death, is brought to Malvern Theatres next week by talking Scarlet.

Inspector Pratt arrives at Bagshot House with grim news for Colonel Craddock, but that's just the beginning. Who is the strange Polish count? Is Henrietta really an army captain? How does the eccentric thespian, Longfellow fit in to the equation? These are just some of the characters who make Pratt's return a chaotic nightmare as the bodies pile higher and higher.

Secondary Cause of Death stars Jeffrey Holland, a favourite with Malvern audiences and well known for his role in the BBC sitcom Hi-de-Hi!. He is joined by Judy Buxton (On the Up), David Janson (Get Some In!, Keeping Up Appearances), Michelle Morris (The Knock) and David Callister (The Bill).

Peter Gordon is the author of no fewer than nine comedies and is best known for his murder mystery spoofs, featuring the incompetent Inspector Pratt. “Secondary Cause of Death a primary cause of laughter” said examiner.com

Secondary Cause of Death will be at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, March 8 to Saturday, March 12. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
