CAST and crew members were joined by NE Cambs MP Stephen Barclay as they put the final touches to a play at Neale Wade Community College.

March and District Amateur Operatic Society (MADAOS) invited Mr Barclay to watch one of the final rehearsals of their new show, Mack and Mabel, with Director/Choreographer Michele Larkin and Musical Director, Neil Keer.

A spokesman said: “MADAOS was very pleased to have Mr Barclay show his support during difficult economic times for us with falling audiences and membership and ever-increasing costs.”

Tickets are available for the Friday and Saturday evening and Saturday matinees performances of Mack and Mabel, which runs from April 19 - 23.

Standard tickets cost �10, �5 for under 12s and �8 for concessions for the Saturday Matinee.
