TWO students from St Martin's College have fulfilled their all time dream by directing and producing their very first musical - Chess.

Mark Edgington and Adam Friend who are both studying Performing Art degrees said they came up with the idea after listening to a a rendition of musical excerpts at their local church.

Adam said: "It became obvious from a small choir gathered to sing show songs there was a desire to perform a musical. With the support of the students' Union we've been able to fulfil our dreams, hence the musical Chess."

Chess runs from March 17-19 at the college's Princess Margaretha Hall from 8pm. Ring Karen Cumpsty on Lancaster 384399 for tickets.
