AUDITIONS have opened for talented actors prepared to take on a Charles Dickens classic.

The Touring Consortium Theatre Company and Darlington Civic Theatre hope to recruit cast members for upcoming performances of A Tale of Two Cities.

A workshop on Sunday, July 17, will form the audition process in Darlington and anyone aged 16 and above can apply to be a part of the community cast.

Actors chosen for a role in the performances will be a part of two shows in the Dolphin Centre’s Central Hall on Saturday, November 19, and Sunday, November 20.
