"It is always a popular event and a highlight in the college’s calendar as well an amazing opportunity to showcase the talent of all the students involved," she said.

“We were delighted to have a packed audience for the show which is always keenly anticipated by those attending.

"The students put so much hard work in to this, not only those starring in the production, but those who worked on the props and costume.

"A fantastic achievement for the students and a real hit to end the term with."
