Scottish actor Andy Gray, best known for his role in television comedy series Rab C Nesbitt, will play the title role in this period costume drama, which promises matchmakers, buried treasure, forbidden romance and missing Lords in a spiral of outrageous, comic confusion.

Rosalind Lowry, Arts Centre Manager of The Braid Arts Centre, said: "We are so pleased to be part of this nationwide tour of The Miser, The Braid Arts Centre has been host to other fabulous Touring Lyric Productions and we know our local audience will be looking forward to 31st May for this world class comedy production."

Tickets for The Miser are now on sale from The Braid Arts Centre Box Office on 028 2563 5900.
