Proceeds from a recent family show in Letchworth have been donated to charity.

Variety Express performed Scary Tale at St Francis College Theatre during October half term.

The show followed a nameless main character and her two best friends as they went on a confusing quest to discover the lost deeds of a haunted mansion, which the main character recently inherited - meeting ghosts, witches and more along the way.

Diane Humberstone, producer of this year's show, said: "What an amazing week. I am so proud of all the wonderful feedback the show received, and for everyone’s hard work and commitment to Variety Express and the chosen charities."

There were five performances, with proceeds from each divided between MND Association Hertfordshire Branch and The Young Carers Crew in Stevenage and North Herts - each receiving £3,000.

Heather Hurley, from MND Association, said: "We are very grateful that you chose to support our charity for the second year running.

"Your donation will go towards helping and supporting people in Hertfordshire who are suffering from or are affected by Motor Neurone Disease."

Helen, from the Young Carers Crew in Stevenage, added: "We’ve been blown away by the large amount raised. Thank you so much."
