IMAGINATIVE students turned the clock back 400 years for an entertaining drama.

They staged an adapted Elizabethan comedy called Volpone at a state-of-the-art theatre in Halton College's new £8m campus.

The play was about greed, fraud and deception.

The audience was warned to expect the unexpected!

Drama student Jenna White, said: "It's been really good. We've done comedy and panto before, we thought this would be a challenge. It was very well received.

"We presented it in a promenade style which meant the audience is moving around and sitting at different areas of the stage."

She said everyone helped to make it a huge success.

"We all pulled together," said Jenna. "We hired, borrowed and adapted costumes.

"It was a big team effort."

Tickets for all the performances were free.
