Anything Goes sails onto stage in Ludlow
Students are gearing up to take to the stage for their annual drama production.
This year, the students at Ludlow College will be performing the classic 1930s romantic comedy, Anything Goes.
Students have been in rehearsals since September and this year will be supported by a live band, including the college's multi-instrumentalist and ukulele virtuoso, Michael Adcock, on double bass.
Set on a trans-Atlantic liner, Anything Goes combines iconic showpieces and songs in musical theatre, such as Anything Goes itself and I Get a Kick Out of You, with some timeless humour from the original story by PG Wodehouse. Rory Naylor, who has recently had an offer to read medicine at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, plays the lead role of Billy Crocker.
He said: "He's a vagabond turned villain who will have to disguise himself as anything possible in order to pursue his true love and assist celebrity singer Reno Sweeney in a music-filled, hilarious trip of a lifetime.
"With wit, fun and one-liners galore, this is sure to be a worthwhile watch for anyone." The show runs from Thursday to Saturday at the college drama studio with evening performances at 7.30pm, plus a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.
Marni Ashworth, a second year drama, sociology and photography A-level student, will be performing in the show and said: "Anything Goes is a ludicrous romp through a cruise liner of uncertain fate, peppered with farce that will set your evening gowns swishing with laughter."
Tickets are available from Ludlow Assembly Rooms or Ludlow College reception priced at £10 for adults and £7 for concessions.
