Our Day Out

by Willy Russell

Audition Date:

Sunday 13th April

11am - In the Priory Theatre Studio

We are excited to announce open auditions for a production of Our Day Out, directed by Bev Avis-Dakin & Nicky Main.

A group of schoolchildren from a deprived district in Liverpool are off on a day trip to Conwy Castle in North Wales during the 1970s. The majority of these pupils come from impoverished and troubled families.

The play beautifully captures the complexities of class, education, and the dreams of these disadvantaged children. It’s a touching exploration of their hopes, struggles, and the transformative power of a simple day out
