DRAMA students in Ely will star in a sci-fi rom-com tonight.

Youngsters at the City of Ely Community College are busy making final preparations before staging their version of Comic Potential, a play by Alan Ayckbourn.

The production involves children from Year Eight through to Year 11.

The play is set in a TV studio in the foreseeable future, when low-cost androids have replaced actors and follows Adam, a writer and comedy fan who falls in love with an android named JC-F31-333.

The drama department will stage a second performance on Friday.
