AUDITIONS FOR NOVEMBER PRODUCTION

OPEN AUDITIONS for our production of “Bothered & Bewildered” by Gail Young

(Performance Dates 21-23 November 2024) will be taking place on THURSDAY 19 SEPTEMBER at 7.30PM at the QUAKER MEETING HOUSE, THE PARADE, MARLBOROUGH. SN8 1NE (next to the Cinema).

Synopsis – As her family struggles to come to terms with her Alzheimer’s, Irene blurs reality with her passion for romantic literature. She spends hours discussing how best to write her ‘memory book’ with her imaginary friend and favourite author Barbara Cartland (the deceased, world-famous romantic novelist), disclosing long-kept family secrets that she would never divulge to her daughters. This tragicomedy is about memory, loss, secrets and – above all – love.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR ACTORS FOR THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
Irene – Female. Elderly suffering from dementia. Mother to Louise and Beth.
Beth – Female. Daughter of Irene, elder sister of Louise.
Louise – Female daughter of Irene, younger sister of Beth.
Barbara Cartland – seen only by Irene.
NHS doctor – Male or Female.
Policeman – Male or Female – only in one short scene.
Jim / James – Jim the younger version of James.
Young Irene / Shelley – Shelley is Irene’s granddaughter and looks identical to her when younger.

This is a challenging play requiring some experience gained in past performances. All interested actors are invited to come along and take part. For further detail, please contact our Director, Tony Michael
