THIS weekend is the last chance to see David Nobbs' moving and hilarious novel about a boy's passage from childhood to man come to life at Bolton's Octagon.

Second From Last in the Sack Race runs at the theatre until Saturday.

The story, set in the northern English back-to-backs, runs through the 1930s-50s following the ups and downs of the likeable Henry Pratt, from birth to his 18th birthday.
