HARTLEPOOL will get a theatrical bad apple tonight.

Bad Apple Theatre Company brings its latest production - Fighting the Tide - to the Town Hall Theatre.

The new musical drama, written by Kate Bramley, tells a survival story, with original songs from Easington's internationally-respected singer-songwriter, Jez Lowe.

The story traces the journey of three fishermen, from tropical islands to glittering cities, in their search for fish.

Tickets are priced £6, or £5 for concessions, and are available from the box office, on (01429) 890000.

The performance starts at 7.30pm.
