BOLTON Little Theatre stage Harold Pinter's The Homecoming from March 20 to 27.

John Cunningham directs Helen Price Aindow, Steve Cain, Barry Hall, Frank Lyn, Stuart Shaw and Harold Smith in the Forge Theatre.

After six years in the States, academic Teddy comes home with his wife, Ruth, to visit his dysfunctional family.

The violent patriarch, Max, lives with his brother, Sam, and his two sons, Lenny and Joey, Teddy's brothers. The family lives in a continuous cycle of immorality and violence, and the effect of this on Teddy and Ruth is the dramatic impetus of the play.

Tickets from the Albert Halls (01204 364333 or 371688) and from the theatre's box office by phone (01204 524469) or in person between 6 and 8 pm.
