Fringe newcomers PB Theatricals Youth Theatre, featuring a local cast led by professionals, offers its take on Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury.

For classic productions given a fresh young twist, try JM Youth Productions’ As You Like It or CHS Youth Theatre Company’s Crossroads, retelling the Faust myth with a hint of comedy.

Or for something altogether stranger, JM Youth Productions are also putting on Ionesco’s farcical The Chairs in which a very old, island-bound couple pass the time with mind games and chair manoeuvres.
