THE story of the medieval Christian martyr St Ursula will be brought to life this week at Fareham's Ashcroft Arts Centre.

An 11-strong cast made up of second year BTEC performing arts students from Fareham College will perform the contemporary classic entitled Ursula by Howard Barker.

Drama lecturer Iain Landles said: "It's a huge play to put on and artistically very challenging.

"But the students have coped with it extremely well."

Performances began yesterday, and continue today and Thursday at 7.45pm.

Tickets cost £4 with concessions available.
