Swindon is alive with The Sound Of Music, as R & J Musicals undertake one of the first amateur productions of the famous musical, following its professional run starring Connie Fisher and Jason Donovan.

Ray Dance and Judith Sharp, pictured, are taking the lead roles in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.

The show runs from Wednesday, May 23 to May 27 at the Arts Centre, in Old Town, and this year the profits go to Alzheimer’s Support charity. Tickets are £11 and £10 from 01793 485025.
