Acting Opportunities
The Players needed for the following roles in Ditchling Players’ Autumn production, Wednesday 20th to Saturday, 23rd November inclusive:

Victor Prynne: Would carefully consider whether or not to defy society or indeed anyone. Drawn to Amanda’s apparent wildness, his new wife, he is nevertheless slightly overwhelmed and awed by it and would eventually try to curb it. Age mid 20s to mid 40s.
Louise, French maid: a small jewel of a part, without the pressure of too many lines to learn, that fun can be had with while captivating an audience. Age indeterminate.
