Shakespeare Live will be holding open auditions for The Taming of the Shrew on Saturday, January 31 at the Royal Oak, High Street, Corsham, from 10am-4pm.

This well-known local company has been producing an annual outdoor show each July for well over 20 years, and pride themselves on their high standards. This production, to be directed by Pat Cannings, will be set in the Suffragette era just before the First World War, and promises to be no exception.

Performances will be in the grounds of Lackham House near Lacock from July 6-11 and rehearsals are on Sundays from April.
