Live theatre will return to Beverley in just over a month’s time, East Riding Theatre’s artisticdirector Adrian Rawlins has announced. The production of Harold Pinter’s dark tragicomedy The Dumb Waiter will run from September 9th to the 25th. Mr Rawlins, who’s currently appearing in the second series of Baptiste on BBC-1, told Beverley FM: “I’m so happy that at long last we are able to open the ERT doors once again. There is nothing quite like the thrill of live arts.” Tickets are now on sale. For more details go to www.eastridingtheatre.co.uk
