THREE generations of the same family will appear on stage together as they keep a 59-year pantomime tradition going.

Nina Eyre first took part in the All Saints Dramatic Society annual pantomime in 1958 and she is now in rehearsal as one of the chorus members for January's performance of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Nina, who lives in Southbourne, will be joined in the chorus by eldest daughter, Jenni French, but the lead role will be played by youngest daughter Rachel Forsdike. Both have been involved since they were five-years-old.

Completing the family line-up is granddaughter Daisy Mackrell - Rachel's daughter - who is one of the dancing troupe.

There will be seven performances of the pantomime at the De La Salle Theatre at St Peter's School, St Catherine's Road between January 5 and 13.

Tickets are available from the box office on 07548 100770 or from Mocha Turtle in Tuckton Road.
