THE directors are seeking more cast members to take part in the outdoor scenes for York Theatre Royal and Pilot Theatre’s community production of Everything Is Possible, The York Suffragettes.

No previous acting or performance experience is necessary, only a positive attitude and willingness to take part. To find out more or to sign up to the outdoor cast and participate in one, multiple or all performances from Tuesday, June 20 to Saturday, July 1 July, please contact community@yorktheatreroyal.co.uk by Friday.

Additional support from BBC Radio York is enabling even more people to join the 170-strong company led by professional York actress Barbara Marten, whose initial idea sparked this new play.

In 1913 women across the country, outraged by inequality and prejudice, began to rise up and demand change. In York, a revolution was about to take place as an ordinary Heworth housewife risked her life and her family to join the fight.

She was not alone. Across the city, women ran safe-houses, organised meetings, smashed windows and fire-bombed pillar boxes. Dangerous, exhilarating, ground-breaking, the story of York's suffragettes will be told for the first time in Everything is Possible as part of the Theatre Royal's Of Woman Born season focusing on female writers, directors, performers and subjects.

Performed on a "spectacular scale", the communit production will begin outdoors before moving on to the mainTheatre Royal stage as the cast raises the purple, green and white flags and cries "Votes for Women".

Everything Is Possible  is written by Bridget Foreman and directed by Juliet Forster and Katie Posner, with a production team of historical advisor Professor Krista Cowman, designer Sara Perks, lighting designer Prema Mehta, movement director Jon Beney and composer Ivan Stott.
