Caramba's Revenge at Ashby Venture Theatre

Ashby Dramatic Society presents Caramba's Revenge by William Norfolk, a darkly funny "murderous comedy" where a group of seemingly harmless pensioners prove to be far sharper – and naughtier – than they look. Expect plots, secrets and plenty of laughs as a missing grandmother, a curious inspector and some very resourceful "old dears" collide in one terraced living room.

They will be performing Caramba's Revenge between Thursday 26 February and Saturday 7 March.
