TALENTED youngsters from St Benedict's High School, Alcester, will be taking to the county stage in May when they perform in a musical extravaganza entitled Big Sister.

The show is a joint initiative by the Warwickshire county music services and Arts Zone and requires the team of 60 performers to work together for just one week of intensive rehearsals before the show hits the road.

Big Sister is a fresh look at the age-old tale of Faust, updated to take place in a real-life TV challenge along the lines of Big Brother.

The piece has been written by a team of Warwickshire writers, and will be performed in Rugby, Exhall, Stratford and Warwick over the holiday weekend of May 3-5.

It will be performed in the Town Square Shopping Centre, Stratford, at 2pm on Monday, May 5, and at Warwick's Bridge House Theatre later that day. Tickets can be booked by calling 01926 412803.
