The Senior Youth Theatre group are rehearsing for their next play. It's Towards Zero, by Agatha Christie, adapted for the stage by local writer and director Janine Sharp.
National Lottery Wales and PAVO Youth-Led Grant Scheme are funding the production, which will be performed in Clyro Village Hall on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd March.
The eleven to eighteen year olds in the group chose the play themselves, because they wanted to perform a traditional murder mystery, and they are also making the set, props and costumes. They also applied for the PAVO grant themselves.
There will be some slight changes to the original plot - instead of being set in Cornwall in 1944, it is now set on the coast of Clyro near Hay Sands in 1949. This is because the first female Detective Inspector in Britain was appointed in 1949 - the doctor in the play is also a woman, because of the shortage of men after the Second World War.
It's not too late to get involved - there will be an open rehearsal and masterclass on Saturday 31st January from 1pm to 3pm at Clyro Village Hall (free, and refreshments will be available).
Then from 3pm to 4.30pm on the same day, they will be talking about what goes on behind the scenes, with the set, props and costume.
