Could your dog put Lassie to shame and be a star of the stage? The Orchard Theatre in Dartford is looking for a canine to feature in its Summer Youth Project show Oliver!

Auditions are being held for the perfect dog to play Bill Sykes’ loyal Bullseye.

The producers are looking for medium-sized dogs that are kind in nature, obedient and great with children.
