A YOUNG actor from Johnston has been invited to perform at the House of Lords.

Jack Evans, 10, will deliver Shakespeare's famous 'now is the winter of our discontent' speech, from Richard III.

Jack, who also recently played the part of the Artful Dodger in Milford Haven Amateur Operatic Society's production of Oliver at the Torch Theatre, will attend a gala dinner at the House in June, to promote the Shakespeare in Schools Project.

Year 6 pupils from Johnston School recently received high praise for their production of Richard III at the Torch Theatre.
