It is the first production to be staged by Planet Rabbit Productions Ltd and is directed by Yorkshire actor Peter Martin.

Peter is best known for playing Len Reynolds in Emmerdale, as well as roles in The Royle Family and Brassed Off.

The play centres around an adult literacy class lead by Joyce. Her pupils face the frustration and embarrassment of learning to read and write in adulthood.

Complete with nursery classroom and wendy house, it follows four mismatched people thrust together in one pursuit, which is both touching and funny.

The play, which has a professional cast, is touring 17 venues throughout the north during September.

It will be performed at Pateley Bridge Memorial Hall on the 11th.

Tickets are available from Tourist Information, High Street, Pateley Bridge.

The tour runs until Saturday, September 27. Other venues include Tadcaster, Whitby, Pickering, Hebden Bridge and Halifax.
