Auditions

Auditions for this years autumn play, ‘Write About What You Know’, will be held on Friday June 14th, 7.30 pm at the Thrapston Plaza.

Here’s a list of the characters:

Annabel Newstead Late 30’s / Early 40’s.   Brian’s devoted “homely” wife in Act 1 but not so in Act 2 when she is very, very drunk.
Liz Marshall Mid 30’s.  A feminist who sees herself as a cut above the rest, has no sense of humour. Quite a spiky character.
Colin Harbottle 50 – 60.  A bluff Northerner, a bit of a male chauvanist.  The character works well with a Northern accent. Writes unintentionally hilarious westerns.
Peter Saltern Late 20’s / Early 30’s.  “a socially aware and environmentally concerned writer”, who writes terrible poetry!
Louise Smith Late 20’s / Early 30’s. A mousy librarian who experiences a transformation – think Sandra D!
Stanley Ferris Over 60.  His sci-fi efforts bring the house down (and he goes to the loo a lot).
Barbara Poklington Over 60.  Poor Barbara often gets the wrong end of the stick but has a strange ability to remember the names and story lines of Stan’s alien characters.  Obsessed with jam.
Brian Newstead Late 30’s / Early 40’s.  Annabel’s cheating husband.  Doesn’t appear in Act 1 as he is away on ‘business’. Turns up in Act 2 and is accosted by Annabel, with a loaded gun.  But it turns out all right in the end!
