TALENTED child actors are being sought for two "significant" roles in a play being staged by The Nonentities at The Rose Theatre this winter.

Auditions for a boy and a girl - who need to look 12 and eight-years-old respectively and be able to speak with upper-middle class accents - will be held at the Chester Road North playhouse from 10am until noon on July 6 and 13.

The roles of Flora and Miles in The Innocents by William Archibald, based on Henry James' novel The Turn of the Screw, are up for grabs.

The group hope to stage the play in December.

Anyone interested who cannot make either date can write to artistic director Liz Cole with their name, address and telephone number to arrange another time.
