An amateur dramatics group is celebrating acting success following its appearance at a recent festival.

Six actors from Shildon's Centre Stage took part in the Saltburn Drama Festival with their version of Evelyn Hood's comedy Victorian melodrama Curses Foiled Again, which was directed by Andrew Timmis and Derrick Robinson.

The group, competing against nine others, won the Adjudicators Award and Donna Timmiss was also nominated for best supporting actress.
