YOUNG actors will turn a Devizes church into 19th century Paris when they take on the epic musical Les Miserables.

Footlights the youth section of Devizes Musical Theatre will perform at St Mary's Church from October 28 to 31 at 7.30pm.

A cast of almost 50 young people have been rehearsing since June and are now putting the final touches to the show which tells the story of former prisoner Jean Valjean who goes from thief to businessman and adopts a young girl called Cosette.

Set against a back drop of the French Revolution it includes many big musical numbers such as I Dreamed A Dream and One Day More.

Tickets are available from Devizes Books or on line from www.devizesmusicaltheatre.co.uk
