YOUNGSTERS from Milford Haven will be picking a pocket or two this month, when they perform Cockney classic musical Oliver.

Members of St Katharine's Junior Stratford Players have been busy rehearsing for their next production, which follows the story of lonely orphan Oliver Twist.

The cast is made up of all members of the Junior group, aged between seven and 17, with the exception of Mr Bumble, who is being played by one of the adult section (and refuses to reveal his age!)

They are also responsible for the sound, lighting, make-up and working back stage.

The show takes place at St Katharine and St Peter's Church Hall over three nights, between Tuesday, September 27, and Thursday, September 29.

Tickets are £4 and £3.50 concessions and can be booked in advance from Viv Barrat on 01646 694736

and providing it's not sold out, tickets will also be available on the door.

Mercury readers' favourite Jeff Dunn will be attending the show, with a review to follow soon.
