IN a send-up of permissive 1960s society, with plenty of risqu jokes thrown in, Ribchester Amateur Theatrical Society presents Habeas Corpus, an Alan Bennett play.

The show starts on Thursday, May 13, and runs until the following Saturday at Ribchester Parochial Hall.

RATS first performed this comical romp nine years ago, but have decided to revive it with a cast including Keith Flood and Susan Cronshaw as Dr and Mrs Wicksteed.

Produced and directed by Robin Simmons, Habeas Corpus will kick off at 7.45pm, with a licensed bar from 7pm. Tickets cost £4 and are available on 01254 878530, 01254 878611 or from Ribchester Post Office.
