PUPILS are to perform a play today about the life of one of Stockton's most influential historic figures.
About 70 youngsters from Hartburn Primary School will appear in the play, A Park Supreme.
It is about the life of Robert Ropner, and how the town's Ropner Park came into being.
"The children have really enjoyed doing it and taking part," said Sandra Stabler, who has helped the nine and ten-year-olds rehearse for the play.
"It is all about how Robert Ropner came from Germany on a boat, got rich and bought the park - and about how vandals are now damaging it."
The performance will be in the school hall at 1.30pm and 7pm.
Admission is free.
