An Angus theatre group has appealed for volunteers, as it attempts to wrestle back a world record.
The LimeLight Company will try to stage and perform the fastest theatrical production in a record time of under 22 hours but requires extra performers to succeed.
Around a year ago the team became world beaters for a month, after their previous record of 24 hours was beaten inside 30 days by a youth theatre group from Essex.
Co-owner of the Arbroath firm Chris O’Mara said extra singers, dancers and actors will be required.
He added: “This is no mean feat. Last year’s task was difficult enough but with every record broken, the time gets harder and harder and there is far less room for error.
“We were all devastated last year when we found out the record had been taken from us in such a short space of time but we are all determined to make sure we regain the title. However, it all depends on the show choice.”
Last year Guys and Dolls was selected for the record attempt, which threw up a range of problems.
Fellow co-owner Michael Carlin said: “Last year’s show made the task near-impossible for us.
“Neither Chris nor I really knew the show and the children’s company didn’t have a clue. We were lucky to have a few older members who had previously performed the show who stepped in but it took us by surprise when it was chosen.”
The minimum age for participants in the Guinness world record attempt is 16. It begins at the Webster Theatre, Arbroath, with the company finding out what the show will be when the clock starts.
Chris said: “From that point on, the record-breaking team must gather costumes, build the set, learn the song, choreograph the dances, sell tickets, and put on a high standard of show in less than 22 hours, on Saturday.
“Without a strong team of all trades, we are bound to fail. Whether you can cook a bacon roll, sell tickets, provide a raffle prize or put a set together, we need your help.”
