EMMERDALE star Stephen McGann and Zoie Kennedy (above) - Staff Nurse Meryl Taylor in ITV's The Royal - will star in Hereford Courtyard's first professional show of the new season, Educating Rita.
For Zoie - who is a Herefordshire girl - it is a welcome return.
The play, written by Willy Russell echoes his experiences of returning to college as a mature student.
A two-hander, the piece develops the relationship between tutor and student. Estelle van Warmelo, whose previous successes at the venue include The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, The Diary of Anne Frank and Guys and Dolls, will direct.
Educating Rita will run from May 17-28 and tickets are available on 0870 1122330.
