Inspector Max Mosley had arrived at All Saints' to present a cheque from Sussex Police to support Rother council's work with young people through the medium of art.

What he found last Thursday was an enthusiastic group of youngsters preparing to take part in their first street theatre as part of the weekend's Coastal Currents promotion.

Typical of the group taking part in last Thursday's drama workshop with the Inside Out Theatre Company was 13-year-old Rachel Garland.

She said: "I just wanted to do a bit of street theatre because I don't normally do street drama.

"This is a new experience - and it's great!"

Anthony Bradnum of Inside Out Theatre Company said: "They are a super group. They came up with the story of Spell Hotel within two weeks. They have had two-hour sessions for six weeks. Street drama is very different from performing in a theatre. There are people all about you. You have to project your voice - and expect the unexpected..."

Inspector Mosley said: "We have made a 1,250 grant towards Rother arts-for-youth projects in Bexhill because there is so little provision for young people in the town."

Inspector Max Mosley presented a cheque to Rother arts development officer Martin Ryan. The cheque was made out to the new De La Warr Charitable Trust.
