SEARCHING FOR LOCAL
ACTORS WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS
A
Tale Of Two Cities
Darlington
Central Hall, Dolphin Centre
Saturday
19th - Sunday 20th November 2016
The
Touring Consortium Theatre Company in association with Darlington Civic Theatre
is looking to cast A Tale Of Two Cities using performers from the local
community.
“It was the best of
times, it was the worst of times.”
Charles
Dickens considered his novel, A Tale Of
Two Cities to be the best story he had ever written. Interweaving one
family’s intensely personal drama with the terror and chaos of the French
Revolution, it is an epic story of love, sacrifice and redemption amidst
horrific violence and world changing events.
The
Touring Consortium Theatre Company, who most recently brought Of Mice And Men,
A View From The Bridge and Brave New World to Darlington Civic Theatre are now
working in partnership with the Theatre to present A Tale Of Two Cities using a cast of community actors.
This
new adaptation by Mike Poulton (Fortune’s Fool, Old Vic; Wolf Hall, RSC) will feature a cast of
approximately 30 local actors alongside a professional production team led by
director Eduard Lewis. The production will be staged in the atmospheric setting
of Darlington’s Central Hall, where
Dickens himself read on 21 September 1858 and again in the autumn
of 1861.
Auditions for the community cast, open to
all aged 16 and over, will take place in Darlington on Sunday
17 July. Anyone interested in taking part in this exciting new project should
email lyndsey.middleton@darlington.gov.uk or call her on 01325 405510. The audition process will
take the form of a fun, energetic workshop.

A Tale Of Two Cities is at Central Hall, Dolphin
Centre, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th November 2016.
