ABERTILLERY Amateur Dramatic and Musical Society is gearing up for its latest production, When the Lights Go On Again.

The musical follows the fortunes of the Parker family from the outbreak of the Second World War to VE Day.

The society is inviting several local veterans to the show as a tribute to the vital part they played in the war.

The British Legion has offered its services of its standard bearer and during the week a collection will be made for Help for Heroes.

The show will run from May 17-21 at The Met, Abertillery, with the curtain going up at 7pm Tuesday to Friday and 6pm on Saturday.

Tickets are £9 for adults and £8 for senior citizens and children up to the age of 12, and are available from the box office on 01495 322510.
