Just playing pirates

CHILDREN had fun aboard a pirate ship when they staged the play Bold Buccaneers as part of their drama studies.

Primary school children from the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy performed the play at the Mottingham Methodist Church Hall, in Mottingham Road.

More than 11,000 children in the UK take part in the drama academy's classes every week.

More than 500 of these are enrolled in the south east London and north Kent branches set up in 1997. Call 020 8880 6494 for information.
