Falkirk performance of Shrek: The Musical to go ahead despite loss of town hall

A bid to stage a musical version of the hit movie Shrek which had been under threat due to the closure of Falkirk Town Hall has been given a fairytale ending after finding a new venue.

Falkirk Operatic Society will now perform their Easter show, 'Shrek: The Musical', at St Mungo's High School in Bainsford, thanks to support from Falkirk Council which has agreed to help the company foot the hefty bill to bring everybody's favourite ogre to the stage.

The society's president, Carol Sutherland, said she is delighted they now have "somewhere to go" for their show in April, which they had originally expected to perform at Falkirk Town Hall.
