AUDITIONS for Ledbury Amateur Dramatic Society's next production, The Talented Mr Ripley, are scheduled for Friday, February 1.

The group is hoping to unearth new talent to swell its ranks and has appealed for anyone interested in joining to get in touch.

As well as acting roles up for grabs, there are also opportunities backstage in costume, lighting, prompt, sound, stage management and set design.

The Talented Mr Ripley was recently a hit film starring Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow. As well as its traditional pantomime, the LADS is not afraid to take on work normally outside the scope of amateur groups, last year staging Thomas Hardy's Return of the Native.

The play will runs from Tuesday, May 7 to Saturday May 11 at the Market Theatre. For details on getting involved ring Rachel Williams on 01531 636045.
