A NELSON amateur dramatic society is raising the curtain on a new production.

The St John's Great Marsden Operatic and Dramatic Society perform Finian's Rainbow at the Pendle Hippodrome Theatre in Colne.

Organisers say the show will be a "charming and whimsical story about love, life and leprechauns, with some great songs." It will run at the New Market Street theatre from next Monday to Saturday. Performances start at 7.15pm. Tickets are £6/£4, accompanied children £3, but people can pay on the door.
