Young ones bring new spirit to an old favourite

CHRISTMAS is the absolute highlight of the year for 15-year-old Bishop Luffa student Georgina Newman. But not for the presents it brings, the shopping or the telly.

For Georgina it means the chance once again to step on the stage at Chichester Festival Theatre as part of one of the region's most envired youth theatres.

She loved being part of Oliver!, The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, Peter Pan and James and the Giant Peach over previous Christmases.

Now she is relishing performing in A Christmas Carol.
