AN ACTING company for people aged over 40 has been launched by the Oxford Playhouse.

The new group is staging meet-ups for anyone who wants to explore classic and contemporary plays.

Meetings will be held tomorrow and on the November 16 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm in the Top Room at the playhouse.

Attendees will explore a different genre of theatre during each session, looking at play extracts, discussing themes and characters and working through monologues and duologues.

After Christmas, the company will rehearse and have the opportunity to perform.
