TWO generations of actors are helping a Bolton society celebrate its 150th year.

New Rosemere AOS has united its oldest and youngest members for its forthcoming show.

Katherine Seager, aged 23, and David Butcher, aged 75, are pictured with a libretto — text for an opera — used by society founder PA James.

It was discovered during preparations for Rosemere’s show, The Gondoliers, March 21 to 25.

Chairman Hannah Carolan said: “It’s fascinating to examine this historic volume and have a look at the notes which Mr James made neatly in pencil and after all these years, I’ve been able to pick up one or two ideas from him.”
