FANGS for the terror teeth! That's the message from teenage Dracula Luke Gibbard to his Wirral dentist who made dreams come true for the young thespian.

Luke, who stars in 'Dracula Spectacula' being staged by Stage One Musical Youth Theatre, enlisted dentist William Bell to help him get his teeth into the role.

Mr Bell made a plate for Luke so that he can speak and sing. "Much better than the plastic joke shop versions," says Luke, who now has fangs to rival Christopher Lee.

Luke, aged 15, a pupil at Calday Grange Grammar School, is also a member of Wirral Youth Theatre.

His sister, Georgina, aged 13, is also in the 'Dracula Spectacula,' with other members of the Wallasey Operatic Youth Section, Stage One.

The musical spoof can be seen at the Floral Pavilion Theatre, from Thursday, February 13 to Saturday, February 15. Tickets- £3.50 adults, £2.50 concessions - available on 639-4189.
