YOUNG performers are donning leather jackets and looking forward to summer nights in their latest production.
A cast of 22 Durham School students, with additional band members and behind the scenes helpers, is preparing to stage Grease, in the school's Luce Theatre, from tonight until Saturday.
The popular musical, which starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton John on film, is already a sell-out, with parents and friends snapping up all the tickets.
To make it even more of a joint effort, the school's headmaster, Neil Kern, is directing the show.
He said: "We cast it just before Christmas, and the cast has been rehearsing for the whole term.
"The students have worked incredibly hard.
"I've really enjoyed directing - it's been a nice change from the desk side of being a headmaster."
