A YOUTH theatre company is preparing to take its latest production to an international festival.

Windermere Productions will perform during the Prague Fringe Festival at the end of May. The company, which was founded in 2007 and run by young people from Darlington, will perform David Ives' All in the Timing, a collection of short, humorous plays.

Director and co-founder, Stan Hodgson, 19, said: "This is a huge opportunity to take something that is entirely the work of young people to an international event. We would love any fellow North-Easterners who happen to be in Prague to come and see us."

Faye Hall, 19, who has been part of the company since she was 16, said: "This is the most ambitious project the company has ever attempted."
