PLEASE SIR… WE WANT SOME MORE
A
call is going out for more local performers to play specific roles and as
company members in an adaptation of Charles Dickens classic book A Tale of
Two Cities being produced by the Touring Consortium Theatre Company in
association with Darlington Civic Theatre.
Following
a recent set of auditions held in Darlington, the producers of this
exciting community theatre venture are looking for more men to fill specific
roles in the play, as well as male and female performers to boost the company.
Director
Eduard Lewis, who has worked extensively for the Royal Exchange Theatre, said
“We saw some wonderfully talented performers at the recent auditions along with
a number of people who had little or no performing experience but who showed a
natural spark that I know we can work with.”
He
continued “We have cast many of the principal roles within the play but are
keen to find some more men for several specific character parts – specifically
aged between 20 and 45. This is a fantastic opportunity for local people to be
part of something truly special. Theatre experience is not necessary – just
enthusiasm and the willingness to work hard and be part of a team.”
The
cast will also work closely with Katy Weir who is the current Associate
Director of the National Youth Theatre and Artistic Director for Odd Man Out, a
company created to champion new writing for theatre, and choreographer Kane
Husbands who worked on the London 2012 Olympics welcome ceremonies.
Charles
Dickens considered his novel, A Tale Of Two Cities to be the best story
he had ever written. Interweaving one family’s intensely personal drama with
the terror and chaos of the French Revolution, it is an epic story of love,
sacrifice and redemption amidst horrific violence and world changing events.
The
second set of auditions, open to all aged 16 and over, will take place in Darlington on Sunday 14th
August. Anyone interested in taking part in auditioning for this exciting new
project should email lyndsey.middleton@darlington.gov.uk or call her on 01325
405510 to register.
