Audition to be part of Cross Players' next performance

Banbury Cross Players have announced that open auditions will take place for their 2016 festival play: The Regina Monologues next week.

Written by Rebecca Russell and Jenny Wafer, the show focuses on six women who all have one thing in common.

Each tells their story and shares their experiences of miscarriage, love affairs and betrayal with humour, pathos and a great deal of wine, showing that the plight of their 16th century sisters – also married to a Henry – is still relevant 500 years on.
