A NEW comedy-thriller has been premiered at the Arts Centre.

The Swindon-based Wes-t ern Players drama group is performing Secondary Cause of Death until Saturday.

The play, which started last night, is the sequel to last years' production Murdered to Death.

Angela Reeves, spokes- woman for the group, said: "It is extremely funny, but there is a thriller element to it as well. Last year's production was very well received and this year we have a hilarious character in the form of Inspector Pratt.

"It is very well produced and very well acted and a perfect amateur production."

The dramatic group will be celebrating its 65th birthday next year.

In February, it will perform a new adaptation of Anastasia.

Tickets cost £4 adults and £3 concessions and are avail- able by ringing Swindon 343500.
