The Willenhall-based YETGA Theatre School will perform Feast of the Flesh on September 23 and September 24 at the Bookmark Theatre in Bloxwich.

A manager of the school and one of the show's directors Alex Rigby-Bishop said: "The show is an original musical that we have written ourselves. It's like a comic book live on stage, little stories that intertwine and come together.

"It's very funny, it is British, it is action-filled. There are so many fight sequences that I don't know how the actors are remembering them. But it is very exciting to watch. Act one lasts for an hour but it feels like it's over in about 10 minutes because there are so many little things. There are some interesting viewpoints – we see some things from the point of the zombies, which is not what you usually see."

YETGA, which stands for Youth Essential Theatre Group Association, has classes every week at the Victoria Buildings on New Railway Street in Willenhall.
