Just some of the actors for 'James and the Giant Peach.'

Giant peach hits Truro!

James and the Giant Peach is to hit the stage as the first production of new theatre company called the Dream Team this month. Blast reporter Matt Nicholas caught up with Guy Watson, the 18 year old who started it all…

For many people, starting their own business is a daunting enough task, but there are a brave few who still face the challenge. Guy Watson is performing a class act by starting his own theatre company at just 18 years of age.

After studying drama alongside other subjects at Helston College, Guy intended to go to a drama school to further to progress his talent and considered many different institutions.

Guy started the company at just 18.

The Dream Team was initially a project that would springboard him into a drama school, but after enjoying the experience so much it has become a full time occupation for the budding director.

With support from Our Money, Your Dream, a government funded scheme, this new theatre company should have no problem drawing in audiences with their energetic and entertaining performances.

Guy commented on the journey so far: "I'm extremely impressed with the progress made so far, it's looking to be a spectacular performance."

With the theatre company only a year old, the future certainly looks bright for this group of young actors.

James and the Giant peach is due to show at Truro's Burrell Theatre on the 27th-29th August, with a matinee also on the 29th.
