Two former Hollyoaks actors have teamed up to create a new theatrical production company.

Joshua Davies and Josephine Sherlock have both appeared in the Channel 4 soap, and have now founded JDG Productions, a company that aims to give amateur actors the chance to work with professionals, in their own theatres.

When JDG comes to Swindon they will be looking for a local performer to sing a musical number in their show, Thoroughly Modern Musicals, at the Wyvern Theatre on Friday, July 18, at 7.30pm.

Joshua insists that it is not merely another revue show but the chance to really experience a taste of musicals such as Wicked, Frozen, Mary Poppins and Shrek.

He said: “The company is all about creating new work that can be toured around the UK. Our vision is to create the characters and scenes from the shows to give the audience a better understanding of the storyline.’’ Joshua takes the part of Sir Galahad from Spamalot and Josephine is Ellie Woods from Legally Blonde, while the third partner in the project, Jonathan Graham, who is best known for his work with Michael Jackson, takes the part of Sam Wheat from Ghost.

Tickets are £15, concessions: £13, under 16s: £10, Family: £11.25* each (must include one adult). For more details call 01793 524481. - Flicky Harrison
