YOUNGSTERS across the borough of Stockton are being warned about the dangers of drinking and driving through a hard-hitting play based on a true story.

The Ape Theatre Company will be performing the play Too Much Punch for Judy, and there will be an interactive workshop session to highlight the issues tackled in the play.

The drama tells the story of a girl who killed her sister through drinking and driving and is aimed at youngsters aged 16 and above.

Actors will perform the play at Grangefield School, Stockton and Billingham Campus School on Monday.

On Tuesday, the company will be at Egglescliffe Comprehensive.
