THE DIRECTOR of performing arts at Dorcan Technology College, Paul Rowe, has put pen to paper to write an original musical play with lyrics to match the Swindon setting.

Life Story is written especially for teenagers and includes rock, jazz and salsa music.

The Dorcan Performing Arts Group will bring the story to the stage from Tuesday, June 29, to Thursday, July 1, with performances starting at 7pm.

Mr Rowe said: "I have tried to write a show that touches on some serious issues for young people.

"Swindon is a terrific place to be if you are a young person interested in the performing arts."

Tickets are available from Mr Rowe at Dorcan on 01793 525231, price £3.
