TALENTED youngsters at a Fareham school are set to wow audiences when they stage their production of Smike.

Brookfield Community School is pulling out all the stops to ensure continued box office success with the modern-day musical of the literary classic Nicholas Nickleby.

The show tells the story of a teacher struggling to teach the text so decides to reinvent it as a musical.

The show's composer Simon May has even hinted that he will be at the performance.

Director of drama Mike O'Brien said: "All the pupils and staff are putting in hours of work to get it right on the night."

The show runs from tomorrow until Saturday at the Brook Lane school. To book tickets contact 01489 576335.
