PAUL Ward is set to star at Tyldesley Little Theatre. He will play Arthur Fitton, the shy bridegroom in Bill Naughton's family comedy All in Good Time.

After his theatre debut with TLT at the age of 15 in Stags and Hens, Paul more recently appeared in pantomime.

Paul said: "I enjoyed the pantos. They were great fun. But this is my first opportunity to do some serious acting.

"I have had walk-on parts in TV's Hollyoaks and Band of Gold and I feel ready for the challenge. The part is wonderful and I am working with a very experienced and supportive cast. I'm really looking forward to it."

The plays runs from June 2 to 6. Tickets are available from the Box Office on 01942 897149 of the Theatre on 01942 886908.
