MUSICAL play Living Louder is being presented by KYDZ (Keighley Youth Theatre).

The group's 24 members – who are aged nine to 16 – will portray the stories of young people facing challenges as they have treatment in a children's hospital, and the impact on patients' families and staff.

Living Louder is written and directed by Jamie Knights, who recently completed a film and television production degree at Edge Hill University.

She started out as a member of KYDZ more than a decade ago and became a leader, going on to write and direct stage shows for the group including We Are The Weird Ones and Boy Weevil The Musical.

Living Louder is being performed at Oakworth Methodist Church on Friday, October 13, and Saturday, October 14, at 7.15pm.

KYDZ was formed 17 years ago as a successor to youth theatre HYT.

It has performed two musical productions each year – written by leaders and often devised by the young people themselves – and an annual concert, plus held weekly online singing groups.
