Ken Lockwood, played by Gavin Grosvenor, is out of work and spends his time lazing around at home, much to the annoyance of his long suffering wife Rachel, played by Jenni Freeman.
Ken decides to become a fraudulent clairvoyant in order to make some easy money, but has he bitten off more than he can chew?
When he becomes embroiled in a plot involving MI5, the CIA and the KGB he may regret faking his "ability" to contact with the spirit world.
Will help come from beyond?
Also starring Alex Anton-Stephens, Joe Varley, Clare Butterfield-Elsey and Sonia Deacon.
The play is directed by David Morgan and Juliet Humphrey and promises laugh out loud comedy for only a tenner and live theatre you won't want to miss.

The panto was hailed as a resounding success and marked the return of the festive performance to the town after many years.
Meanwhile, Steel Magnolias ensured not a dry eye in the house for its week long run of performances - underlining the society's talented pool of members' range.
The club is known as the 'Little theatre with a big heart' and can be found on Canal Road where generations of members have developed the facilities and pride themselves on offering affordable, varied and entertaining live theatre to the public.
