A TROWBRIDGE theatre group is hoping to leave its next audience shouting for more when members take to the stage next month.
Trowbridge Amateur Operatic Society is staging the forever-popular musical Oliver! at the Civic Hall on November 15-18.
Children from Trowbridge, Bradford on Avon, Westbury and Melksham, have joined the society after auditions in the summer, and several new adult members are making their TAOS debut.
Life is bad enough in the workhouse for Oliver, played by Luke Rees-Oliviere, 13, from Bradford, but his troubles really begin after he finds himself asking for extra gruel from the workhouse matron Widow Corney (played by Lorraine Smith) - for the beadle Mr Bumble (Mike Kemp) sells him to undertakers Mr and Mrs Sowerberrys for the gruesome task of junior coffin follower, alongside their daughter Charlotte and assistant Noah Claypole.
