DRAMA students from St Martin's College will take to the boards at the Dukes in Lancas-ter with two distinctly different productions this month.

First up comes Ten Tiny Fingers, Nine Tiny Toes', a touching drama written by Sue Townsend, author of the popular Adrian Mole' series of books.

Set in a future where the Government controls every aspect of peoples' lives, it follows two women from different grades' of society trying to raise the children they've always wanted.

It runs from Wednesday to Satur-day next week (Janu-ary 19 to 22) and will be followed seven days later by The Changeling', by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley a classic drama for audiences aged 15 and over.

An all female cast perform the tragic tale of lust and murder, full of sinister twists.

St Martin's drama lecturers Jan Ashcroft, who has been working on the plays with colleague Leonie Pearce, says: "Our students have chosen plays that will show their talents to the full. Their enthusiasm has been contagious and I look forward to seeing them perform."
