Halesowen-based theatre company Mayhem will be putting on the plays which parody classic theatre productions.
The Real Inspector Calls, by Halesowen playwright Stephen Moran, is an alternative look at J B Priestley's An Inspector Calls, which saw a dinner party disrupted by a murder investigation.
Happy Daze, by David Williams, is a light-hearted tribute to Samuel Beckett's Happy Days, and tells the story of three clowns who attempt a bank robbery. If I Were a Rich Man, also by David Williams, tells the story of two men who meet on a park bench and find they have more in common than they first realise.
Stephen, who has previously had one of his plays performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, said the company was considering taking this production to the famous event.
The production runs at the theatre in Spring Walk, Langley Green, from 7.30pm on Friday and Saturday. Tickets are priced £10.
