Wigan Little Theatre is staging a Charles Dickens classic this summer – but it still has a couple of roles vacant.

An adaptation of David Copperfield by Deborah McAndrew runs from July 5 to 15 and preparations are already under way.

But WLT has two parts yet to be filled:

Music society welcomes ensemble whose local debut was first thwarted by Covid

James Steerforth - a condescending, self-centered villain who charms both women and men. Playing age 20 to 30.

Ham - a likeable and honest man of a generous nature and a boat-builder by trade. Playing 18 to30.

Rehearsals are usually two or three times a week.

A theatre spokeswoman said: “We’d love to hear from you and can promise a rewarding experience at WLT.

“Please contact the director on 01942 323024 or assistant director on 07716 334308 or [email protected].”

Before then though there are two other productions to enjoy. From April 19 to 29 comes the comedy Di and Viv and Rose; then from May 24 to June 3, it’s the musical Guys and Dolls.
