Drama groups are being sought to take part in a traditional Easter play in the city centre.

Christian mission, Hope Bradford, is calling on huddles of budding actors and actresses to join a growing cast for its Passion Play in Centenary Square.

Newcomers are welcome at a meeting in the German Evangelical Church, in Great Horton Road, Bradford, on Monday, January 7, at 8pm.

Organisers have signed up Julia O'Keeffe from professional theatrical company Paper Zoo to produce a script depicting the story of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

Copies of the script will be handed out at the meeting so that rehearsals can begin ahead of the play on Saturday, March 22.
