AN AMBITIOUS new stage version of the classic sci-fi film Metropolis is the end result of summer schools at Basingstoke's Haymarket theatre.

Both children and adults have been working with theatre professionals to produce the play, a dark political fable set in the not-too-distant future, which you can see being performed on August 17 and 18.

Tickets for the show cost from £4. For details, call the box office on 01256 465566.
