STUDENTS from Burgate and Ringwood schools have taken over the Forest Forge Theatre Company for two weeks.

They took part in the project Elevate, run by creative learning director Lucy Bailey, who said: "The cast are great and local playwright Richard Conlan has written a gorgeous script for us.

"We are always inundated with work experience applications and this is the best way to have as many young people as possible doing the thing they feel passionate about."

The play tours to local secondary schools tonight, tomorrow night and Friday night.
