THE Neston Players are hoping Prescription for Murder will turn out to be a prescription for awards glory.

Chairman, Paul Kirkbright said: “We are delighted to be nominated once again for these prestigious regional awards.

“With exciting productions planned for the forthcoming year as part of our diamond anniversary season, we are looking forward to building on these achievements.”
