Call up for actors
We Need You is the wartime call to arms for people to take part in plays as part of the Wilfred Owen Centenary Festival.
In November the Llanymynech Amateur Dramatics Society will be producing two plays linked to the Wilfred Owen Centenary Festival which takes place in Oswestry's Cae Glas Park.
'The Forester's House', written by Neil Rhodes of the society, depicts the last hours in the life of Wilfred Owen and his fellow soldiers, as they prepared to advance across the Sambre-Oise canal in the final days of the war.
Meanwhile, 'The Accrington Pals' follows young soldiers from a mill town who signed up together in a 'Pals' regiment, and also the lives if the women they left behind.
Alison Utting, from LADS, said: "The productions will be staged in Oswestry, Llanymynech and Ellesmere. We need to cast these parts early as uniforms need to be ordered in advance. We don't want a repeat of the first days of the real war, when khaki ran out and soldiers had to have hastily run-up blue uniforms."
The society is looking for young men aged between 18 and 30-ish to take part in the productions.
There will be a fun drop-in audition workshop being held at Oswestry Memorial Hall on May 9 from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, or you can contact the society by email info@ladstheatre.co.uk or phone 01691 830558.
