Russell Theron, director and youth liaison officer, said: "It's very rare to have tickets sold out for every performance before the first show. The whole cast worked so hard and some of our youngsters had never performed on stage before.

"I have loved watching our young cast develop through the rehearsal process, however managing a cast of 36 adults and children came with its challenges."

RAODS' next show is Things I know to be true from May 7-11.
