The curtain opens on Wellingborough Technical Players' production of Edge of Darkness next week at the Castle Theatre Studio.

But the drama group's next play will be Noel Coward's satire, Relative Values, which explores the clash of cultures between Hollywood stars and the English aristocracy.

Director Teresa Webb said: "We're looking for five men and five women, from the ages of 16 to people in their mid-sixties, for this light comedy which is set in the 1950s.

"It's about quite a well-to-do family whose son comes home to introduce his new fiancee to them and she's a Hollywood film star - but there's a twist."

Teresa will host an initial read through on Monday, November 18, in Tesco's Community Space in Wellingborough at 7.30 pm.

Audition for the roles take place on Sunday, November 24, at 2pm at Finedon Old Band Club in Orchard Road, Finedon.
