Around 18 Weymouth College students took part in a full-day mask workshop run by theatre company Trading Faces, including A-level theatre studies students, foundation degree performance students and BTEC national diploma performing arts students.

Head of performing arts at the Cranford Avenue college Alan Marsh said: "The aim was to introduce the students to the techniques of acting in masks and building up their skills as actors."

The workshop was a prelude to a performance of The Little Prince that will be at the college at 7. 30pm next Thursday

The performance is suitable for children aged seven years and above.
