LOVE and magic is in the air as a variety troupe prepares to tread the boards with a traditional fairy tale.
Stanley Variety Troupe is to stage Beauty and the Beast at the town's civic hall next month.
Troupe members have written their own scripts for the show which is part drama, part ballet and part tap.
It will run from November 6 until November 12 and has been supported by a £660 community divided grant from the North Eastern Co-op. The award will be used to create improved scenery.
