A VILLAGE hall is staging a world premiere.

Guilden Sutton Players say they are excited to be the first amateur group to perform The Flint Street Nativity by Cheshire author Tim Firth, renowned for Calendar Girls, Neville’s Island and Preston Front.

Tim Firth is unable to attend, but through his website, he has wished the Players good luck.

The stage version was adapted from a play for television.

The children are played by adults, who later play their parents.

The production runs until November 21 at 7.45pm at Guilden Sutton Village Hall. Ring 01244 300034 for details.
