Keighley youth theatre HYT next week presents its latest show PHSCE.

The hour-long play looks at personal health, social and citizenship education in both humourous and serious.

The group of 11-18-year-olds plan to perform the play around the Keighley area during the spring and summer.

In return for a free performance, schools and organisations can provide a venue and sell tickets for their own funds.

Thursday's 7.30pm performance at Bronte Middle School, Oakworth Road, will allow teachers and youth workers to see what they will be getting.

Anyone wishing to attend should phone Charlotte Crossley on 01535 654093.

n New York's Plaza Hotel has been the backdrop for famous films including Breakfast at Tiffany's, Annie and The Way We Were.

Next week it is the setting for Keighley Playhouse's production of Neil Simon's three-part comedy Plaza Suite.

Three couples encounter problems at different times while staying in the same room to celebrate events in their lives. Kevin Moore, the producer, said the play shows Simon's mastery at making people laugh at the darker side of other people's relationships.

He said: "The dialogue crackles from start to finish as his characters portray anger, emotion, betrayal, sadness and of course humour."

The "wonderful mix of Jewish satire" runs from Monday-Saturday at 7.30pm. Book on 01535 604764 (evenings) and 08451 267859.

"The group is finding the ideas, emotions and language more challenging than in previous productions," said tutor Rosemary Grainger.
