Tickets go on sale for theatre festival

Exeter's annual Ignite festival of theatre is launched today - with tickets going on sale for dozens of events over six days in June.

88 companies will be putting on a variety of shows in 15 venues.

Organisers say Exeter is an ideal city to host a festival like this, as the central area is so small that it's easy for people to move between venues.

They also say the enthusiasm and support of local audiences has enabled the festival to grow to its current size, from very modest beginnings five years ago.

The festival takes place from June 2nd till the 7th.
