April in Paris call for actors
April in Paris
by John Godber
Director Margaret Jesson
Limelight Theatre is seeking interest from 1 male and 1 female actor, aged 40 to 60 years to play in this hilarious comedy about a Yorkshire couple Bet and Al who win a Romantic Break to Paris. This is their first time abroad as they hilariously tackle their phrasebook, fend off muggers and “enjoy” french cuisine. But it all has a profound affect on how they view the world when they return home.
If you are interested in telling their story under direction of Margaret Jesson please be in touch with her by phoning 06 379 85 39, or Text 0275 999 609 as soon as possible.
Please be aware the rehearsal schedule will be intense as there are only 8 weeks until showtime at the end of August.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
