Please click here for full list of Audition pieces.

Please only audition if you can be available for rehearsals. Which will start mid-February 2026. The play will mainly take place on the flat with an additional entrance / exit on the stage.
There will need to be close liaison between sounds and lights and the cast will also need to be familiar with some of the music, to which they will mime.
Jude will be heading up the wardrobe team for the play which is a huge undertaking. Cast will be asked to provide parts of their own costumes, e.g. black shoes, white stockings etc.
The play contains Italian and French. Once the play is cast there will be a couple of workshops later in the year where I’ll talk more
about the play, run through the production, testing its length etc.
If you can, email or message me if you will be auditioning and which part (s) you are auditioning for. During the audition some of the music / sound in the play may be used. I will not be auditioning for the non speaking roles or the Major Domo who has one line. If you would like to be in the production in one of the non speaking roles or as the Major Domo then please drop me an email or message.
