A drama group founded by former pupils of Woodford County High School will stage its next production at Wanstead House community centre.

“In 1939, two students of the all-girls school formed a drama society and had to find men for the male roles! Back then, the school was known as Highams School, hence our name,” said a spokesperson for Highams Players, who welcome new members on stage and behind the scenes. The group will perform Something to Hide by Leslie Sands from 29 to 31 May.
