A theatre group in Stamford begin their double bill of shows today at the Corn Exchange.

The second time Stamford Showstoppers are putting on two shows. Shrek the Musical Junior in the afternoon with the younger members of the society and the adult cast perform Little Shop of Horrors from this evening. Both shows run until Saturday and both are family friendly. Even though in Little Shop there is a man-eating plant on stage.

‘I think it is for everyone. There's no kind of like PG status on it. It's a bit shocking at times but definitely family friendly. A story that people won't forget and hopefully we do it justice’.
