BLACKBURN Arts Club will present the thriller Dead Man's Hand from October 9 to 13.

The play, by Seymour Matthews, is being produced by Ann Collins and will be staged at the Club Theatre, Gibraltar Street.

Guests are lured to a remote Italian villa where they are murdered one by one. But, as with most thrillers, there is more to the plot than meets the eye.

Tickets are £4.50 with concessions £3.50 on Tuesday and Wednesday only.

They can be obtained by telephoning 01254 52024 or 01254 52910 after 7pm during show week.
