ONE of the region's theatres has unveiled its plans for the forthcoming season.

The Grand Opera House, in York will be bringing drama, dance, music and comedy to theatre-lovers over the next few months.

Just Good Friends star Paul Nicholas and former EastEnders and Footballers' Wives actress Gillian Taylforth will be among the stars treading the boards.

The stage will be covered in ice for Nutcracker On Ice and Sensational Ice, while dance fans will be tempted by Swan Lake, Tap Dogs and Spirit Of The Dance.

Comedians include stand-ups Ross Noble and Ed Byrne, while Ken Dodd will make a return for his annual show.
