AUDITIONS are being held for Turnpike Community Theatre's summer production Romeo and Juliet.

Writers Jo Shepherd and Neil Gredecki have taken Shakespeare's tragic love story and given it a modern twist.

Newcomers or old hands aged 16 or over are welcome to audition for the play which will be staged in June. Young men for the role of 18-25 year-olds are particularly needed.

Auditions are from 8pm on Tuesday, January 21, and from 7.30pm on Thursday, January 23, at the XII Apostles Club, Westleigh Lane, Leigh.
