FREE tickets for youngsters between the age of 16 and 19 are being offered for a play featuring a Coronation Street star at Trowbridge Town Hall next month.

Leon Ockenden will star in the thriller Stone Cold Murder, from December 19-23, by James Cawood after Town Hall Arts and the Dorset Corset Theatre Company received the backing of Arts Council England who are funding it all.

And to encourage more young people to see the show, which features Mr Ockenden, who plays Will Chatterton in the Soap, and Woman in Black theatre actor Joseph Chance, and experience live theatre, they get to go to see it all, free of charge.

"We hope local people will be excited by having such successful actors as Leon Ockenden and Joseph Chance performing in such an intimate setting," said Tracy Sullivan, Director of Town Hall Arts.
