LAUNCESTON'S amateur theatre company, LADS, is ready to delight audiences with their version of the story of Babes in the Wood.

The show, written and directed by Nigel Crabb, features a strong cast, along with a few surprises, and starts on Wednesday, January 29 at Launceston Town Hall.

Tickets are available on the door, or at 'Cornish Delicacies' — opposite the church) Performances start at 7.30pm, except for the matinee, where the curtain goes up at 2.30pm on Saturday, February1.

Babes in the Wood combines many of the facets of the legend of Robin Hood, along with fairy tales of children looked after by animals and birds when they are lost in the forests which abounded at the time.
