Entitled Ruby, it challenges people to guess who has stolen the precious gem. Is it one of the pupils, or the newly-appointed lady cook, who bears a striking resemblance to a recently-released bank robber?

The play is at Alfreton Wesley Church, Ellesmere Avenue, DE55 7HW, on Thursday and Friday, August 24 and 25 at 7pm. Admission free, charity collection.
