Junior school pupils took to the stage for an adaptation of a Roald Dahl classic.

The children, from Chigwell School in High Road, performed their version of Fantastic Mr Fox on June 22, 23 and 24 after three months of rehearsals.

The colourful costumes and impressive set went down a treat with the packed audience, with the human JCBs a particular crowd pleaser.

Lewis Zacharia and Jake Sugar starred as Mr Fox in the play directed by drama teacher Janey Foster.

Director of drama Joe Maingot said: “The cast entertained full houses and were brilliantly directed by Miss Foster.

“I want to thanks everyone involved with the production for such a great show.”
