MEMBERS of a Russian theatre group will be taking a bow next week.
Actors from Mirage Youth Theatre, based in County Durham's twin city of Kostroma in Russia, are to perform at County Hall, in Durham City, on Tuesday.
The young actors perform in English, which is about 250 miles north of Moscow, and they will include a piece by a British playwright in their performance.
Their stay in Durham follows a visit last year to Kostroma by the Youth Connection theatre group from Roseberry Sports and Community College, Pelton.
Mirage will perform at the school on Monday, before giving their public performance at County Hall on Tuesday from 7pm.
Admission to the performance, which is expected to run until 8.30pm, is free but places should be booked by calling Durham County Council's international relations office on 0191 383 4098.
