The details for the next play audition are as follows:
Director: Sharon Besant

Instead lie finds himself handcuffed to a wrought-iron chair, and faced by Maggie and three women of their local set. He is to be put on trial for causing the death of another woman. A ‘court-room’ is set up with props from a recent amateur dramatic production, and there follows one of the most bizarre trials ever enacted in a British court. During its course, unforeseen revelations surprise all the participants, culminating in a shocking conclusion.
Age range is 30’s to 40’s but allowing for some flexibility in this regard.
