Actors Needed for New Knife Drama

Auditions are now available for Prime Theatre’s new short drama film about knife crime

The film follows the story of two secondary school pupils Noah and Kieran as they try to navigate the scary and confusing world of early education, where peer pressure, rumours and social media rule. After Noah gets mixed up in a fight between Kieran and another boy, he becomes the centre of attention. Fearing for his safety, Noah makes an impulsive decision to defend himself.

Filming will commence in early April, for a 3 day shoot.

Auditions will take place on 16-17 March, from 2-9:30pm, at Create Studios, on the third floor of the Wyvern Theatre. Main actors will be needed for 3 days. Extras for 1-2 days.
