An operatic society is looking for a man to join their group to play a part in an upcoming production.

New Rosemere wants a male to play the role of Sir Marmaduke Poindextre - an Elderly Baronet - in its forthcoming production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Sorcerer.

The show will be staged at the Parish Hall Theatre in Egerton between the March 28 and April 1 next year.

General rehearsals are Monday evenings, with Principal rehearsals will be on Wednesdays when called.

David Seager from the society said: "Poindextre is a heraldic term suggesting his 'top-of-the-tree' status, as does his rank of baronet.

"He has been in love with Lady Sangazure for years but has never declared it. Love finds its way, eventually, but not before the philtre makes him fall for his housekeeper, Zorah Partlet."

If you are interested, or know of anyone who may be interested, Dave can be contacted via email on newrosemere@yahoo.co.uk.
