THE first round of auditions for two children's roles in a forthcoming Nonentities play will be held next week.

The resident group at Kidderminster's Rose Theatre is on the lookout for a girl to play eight-year-old Flora and a boy to portray Miles, 12, in a production of William Archibald's The Innocents in December.

Auditions will be held at the Chester Road North playhouse on Saturday, July 6 and Saturday, July 13 from 10am until noon.

Children are required to speak with upper-middle class accents - and real ages are not important providing the boy and girl look 12 and eight respectively.

Anyone interested who cannot make either of the dates should write to artistic director Liz Cole at The Rose with their name, address and telephone number.
