Pupils at Northfield Academy are staging a production of the rock musical "Little Shop of Horrors" at the end of the month. About 40 children and young people will take on roles in the show, telling the story of a florist who raises a carnivorous plant on human blood. The principal teacher of creative arts believes the pupils have worked hard and are excited to perform. The school head teacher sees the production as showcasing the students' talents and dedication outside the classroom.
