YOUNGSTERS taking part in a theatre summer school at Weston-sub-Edge took just four and a half days to rehearse and stage a production of Mary Poppins.

The week-long summer school, now in its 12th year, was run by Jane Stevens, at the village's Hall of Friendship.

Participants, aged four to 15, learned various aspects of theatre, ranging from make-up and stage management to song and dance.

As well as putting on Mary Poppins on the final day, last Friday, they performed a scene from the Sleeping Beauty ballet.
