Audition Notice

The ladykillers by Graham Linehan

I shall be holding auditions for the June production at 8.00pm on Wednesday 25^th February and at 3.00pm on Sunday 1^st March at the Settlement.

This very funny stage adaptation of one of my all-time favourite movies is written by one of the country’s best contemporary comedy writers.

Cast

Constable Macdonald               An upright custodian of the law

Mrs Louisa Wilberforce             A lady

Professor Marcus                     The Mastermind

Major Courtney                         A con man

Harry Robinson                        An up and coming thug

One-round                                The Muscle

Louis Harvey                            A stone cold killer

Mrs Jane Tromleyton               A friend of Mrs Wilberforce

Mrs Wilberforce’s friends         At least 6 friends who come to the party

I’m also going to need a few “extras”, male and female, for a short filmed segment.

For Mrs Wilberforce’s friends I need at least 6 actresses of any age who can stay in character and ad lib a bit. You will be making a noisy entrance and exit and will be on stage over two scenes. I do realise that we will have to use make-up and costume to make you look older and less glamourous than you all actually are but you’re actresses and this is the magic of theatre.

I hope that I shall see you at one of the auditions. I’m really looking forward to this one.

Jim Anderson.
