Community
casting for Miller masterpiece!
Touring
Consortium Theatre Company hold auditions in Darlington for community casting in
next production of Arthur Miller’s ‘A View from the Bridge’
In
spring 2015, the Touring
Consortium Theatre Company will, with York Theatre Royal, co-produce
Arthur Miller's modern classic, A View from the Bridge, directed by
Damian Cruden. 2015 is the centenary of Arthur Miller’s birth and they are
delighted to be celebrating it with this production of one of his most popular
plays.
Set in
1950s New
York
and crackling with raw emotion, this American classic simmers with tension as
longshoreman Eddie Carbone's obsession with his orphaned niece spirals out of
control. In a close Italian immigrant community bound by codes of justice and
vengeance, the scene is set for disaster when Eddie and his wife welcome Sicilian
cousins into their home.
Sexual
repression, paranoia and homophobia drive Eddie to an act of betrayal that has
tragic consequences for himself, his family and the whole community. This dark
and passionate tale ranks as one of the great classics of our time.

The
Touring Consortium Theatre Company will be holding open auditions at Darlington
Civic Theatre to cast between 10-12 people who will make up the ensemble
casting for this production. Local members of the community will perform
alongside the professional cast for the entire week that it plays at Darlington
Civic Theatre.
It’s a
wonderful opportunity for local actors to be part of a national touring
production. The Touring Consortium Theatre Company has included community
ensembles in their previous tours of WhatsOnStage nominated To Sir With Love and Brassed Off. Anyone with even a little
acting experience is welcome to audition. Just bring your enthusiasm and
commitment.
Auditions
will be held on the Civic Theatre’s stage this autumn. To apply for a casting
slot, please send a recent photo and a short paragraph about yourself
explaining why you would like to take part to stacey@touringconsortium.com.
Please note you must be over 16 years old to apply. Deadline for applications
is
24th October.
A
View from the Bridge
is the fourth production of our Arts Council England-funded Strategic Touring
Programme.
