Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

AUDITIONS for a new production of Roald Dahl’s classic George’s Marvellous Medicine are to be held in Reading next month.

Girls aged between six and 10-years-old, and under 4ft 4in, are being invited to audition for the role of the shrunken granny, who shrinks to mini size after drinking George’s magic creation. The role requires two girls who can scream as loud as possible and run rings around the other actors.

The successful young starlets will be required to perform in the Birmingham Stage Company’s production at The Hexagon between Friday, November 4 and Sunday November 6.

Auditions will be held on Monday, September 19 at 5pm and 5.30pm. For more details and to reserve your place call 0118 960 6060.

Audition places are limited to 20 per session and you must book your place in advance. You must be available for show performances on Friday 4 – Sunday 6 November morning/afternoon/evening and must be accompanied by a parent/responsible adult at the audition and every performance. Performances will be divided between the two girls selected from these auditions. There is no payment for this part.
