A QUARTET of familiar faces will be appearing at the Mercury Theatre in Colchester this week as it plays host to a fast-paced thriller.

Simon Ward, Sandra Dickinson, Neil Stacy and Liz Robertson are currently performing in the Francis Durbridge play A Touch of Danger.

Running until Saturday evening, the play follows a series of twists and turns that play out after news that a best-selling author has been found dead in Munich.

When it transpires that the writer's death was in fact a case of mistaken identity, a complex sequence of events involving men from the CID, the CIA, the security services and a terrorist organisation come into play.

Tickets priced from just £9.50 for A Touch of Danger are available from the Box Office now on 01206 573948 or online at www.mercurytheatre.co.uk.
