A DORSET care home transformed into an ‘electrifying’ drive thru to relive a 1950s classic musical.

Residents at Colten Care’s Fernhill in Longham relived their younger years of a high school experience through Grease.

Staff and residents spent the day playing dress up as iconic characters including ‘Sandy and Danny’ and the ‘Pink Ladies’.

Senior care lead Ben Kwakye played the John Travolta part of Danny while companionship team member Miezy Reynolds acted the role of Sandy, made famous by Olivia Newton-John.

Companionship team leader Cara Duroe said the day was a chance to make a wish come true for resident Carol Swallow.

Cara said: “Carol told us she would love to go to the cinema but might find the experience overwhelming, so we thought we’d bring the cinema to her.

“We used our marquees, projector and big screen, choosing Grease because it is so iconic, feelgood and nostalgic.

“Residents and team members spent weeks creating our own cars, props, signs and costumes, taking our inspiration from the film.

“It was a great opportunity to dress up and really feel a part of the fantastic Grease phenomenon, singing along to the classic songs we all love and making Carol’s wish come true at the same time.”
