The story was mainly about why you should never climb, performed for families of all the children involved in Laindon.

The youngsters from the Five Links Estate make up the group, which was set up by a resident of the estate to encourage children to use their imagination and provide them with some fun activities.

Project manager Bonnie Ames said: "We thought it would be fun and entertaining to tackle the fairy tale from another perspective."
