A DERWENTSIDE theatre company is putting on its second show.

Find the Lady, presentedby the Shoestring Theatre Company, was written by Michael Pertwee and directed by Bill Wilkinson.

Mr Wilkinson said: "It is set in the Delamere Hotel, where the proprietor is an ex-actress with a liking for the odd tipple now and again.

"When she discovers the dead body of one of her guests, her problems only get more compounded by the fact non of her other clientele believe her, due to her drinking.

"However, as the plot unfolds it starts to become clear that she has not hallucinated the event and the finger of suspicion falls upon the guests at the hotel.

"It is good light hearted comedy thriller, full of unusual guests and comical action, a one for the whole family.

Find The Lady is playing at Stanley Community Centre next Thursday and Friday at 7.15pm, and Saturday at 2.15pm.

Tickets, costing £4 for adults and £3.50 concessions, are available from the community centre and Stanley Library or people can pay on the night.
