A WELSHAMPTON team is heading for the stars with its 10th winter show in an original production involving all parts of the community.

The Rocket has been written for the Welshampton Bonfire Committee pantomime team by one of the original members of the group, Richard Jones.

It takes place at Welshampton Parish Hall between February 21 and 23.

The show, directed by Bob Richards, features a cast of colourful characters as well as music and songs arranged by musical director, Trixi Field.

"The Rocket is a winter’s tale of a young space traveller who arrives in the village from the planet Foofalong and the villagers’ quest to build a rocket so that he can return home," said Bob.

“We like to use original scripts in our winter shows as it gives us chance to get so many people involved both on stage and behind the scenes.

"We’re always amazed at the wealth of talent there is across all parts of the production."
