Shrek: The Musical starts at the Wellesley Theatre tonight (Wednesday 13 May). It is the story of an unlikely hero. He finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess. It is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure.

The Operatic Society has chosen Transition Town Wellington as their charity for the year. So if you go you will have a good time and the opportunity of adding to TTW funds in the shaky buckets or tickling the card machine at the end. The show is on from Wednesday 13 to Sunday 17 May. TTW were pleased to help by clearing the undergrowth at the rear of the theatre that was blocking the exit doors and also helping with the delivery of the set.
