WHEN three bored housewives wish for the man of their dreams over peanut butter brownies and martini, nobody can predict what happens when Darryl Van Horn shows up.

Barton Peveril College presents The Witches of Eastwick, a musical comedy that ensures a good time is had by everyone. Kicking off its run on Thursday, the show is based on the Jack Updike novel that received the Hollywood treatment starring Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson.

Performed by the sixth form, the show demonstrates what happens when all hell breaks loose, literally.

The Witches of Eastwick is at the Nuffield until Saturday, July 13.
