AS Pleasure Dome Theatre Company celebrates ten years on Exmoor at the Valley of Rocks, the call is out for performers for their latest production.

They are looking for hard-working, enthusiastic and fearless people aged 17-plus of all levels of experience to join the company as a community chorus.

A spokesperson said: “Performing at The Valley of Rocks is the most visceral stage experience one can have, but it is also demanding so we are looking for team players happy to get stuck and work as a troupe.

“We are a disability-led company so are open to accommodating any access needs communicated.”

Community workshop-style auditions will be held at the Landmark Theatre on Saturday April 25 at 10 am to 12.30 pm with a chance to meet the team and learn more about the project. Participants will need to be available for the production between July 17 to 25 at Valley of Rocks with eight performances including a Sunday matinee.

The latest production sees a return to their supernatural origins with a haunting production of Charles Dickens' The Signalman adapted by Jonathan Holloway and directed by Scott Le Crass.

A spokesperson added: “We are proud to be creating this production in partnership with the brilliant Landmark Theatre who have continuously championed and supported our work.

“Exploring themes of mental health and rural isolation, this South West retelling, drawing on the impact of the Beeching cuts, pulls into the Valley of Rocks this July before steaming across the South West visiting a choice selection of Heritage Railways, Museums and Arts Venues.

“Keep your eyes peeled for returning familiar faces and some star castings, all delighted to be joining our creative family and fantastic community performers to bring this story to life.”
