September 1-act Season

AUDITION FOR 3 1-ACT PLAYS. Sunday 23rd July 2006 at 2pm at Princess May Theatre _____________________________________________________ “DARLINGS, YOU WERE WONDERFUL” directed by Peter Kirkwood (Ph: 9364 7648) The all ladies Amazon Theatre Group are to perform a passionate, 17th century Spanish drama in a theatre Festival. Before curtain up, tensions mount as the group deals with seething passions, smoldering hate, accusations of infidelity, drunkenness and a missing actor to say nothing of Judy, who is so nervous she can’t stop talking, cleaning polishing and worrying about the lack of toilet paper. This fast moving and very funny play will give everyone an insight into what can happen backstage and behind the scenes. CHARACTERS—Ages are flexible except for Irene and Lesley Vanessa 30+ Judy 40+ Irene 50+ Eve 30+ Liz 30+ Lesley 18–25 _____________________________________________________________________ “SEASIDE POSTCARD” Directed by Nicola Bond (Ph: 9316 8751) A hilarious comedy for 4 women and 4 men. The group assembled on the beach could almost be regarded as characters from typical seaside postcards brought to life. During their brief sojourn in Cornwall much happens. Terry, heir to three fish and chip shops becomes engaged to Sharon; the meek worm Martin suddenly turns; an unfortunate “explosion” shatters the sunbathing calm; a wife-swapping seems imminent and a rising tide, threatens the lot of them! CHARACTERS Man - middle age (small but integral part) Girl - 18 to 20 (sets the scene—small part) Sharon Spicer - 19-24 Terry Rees - mid 20’s Glynis Spicer - 40+ Shirley Thompson - 40+ Martin Spicer - middle age Leslie Thompson - middle age ______________________________________________________________________ “BETWEEN THE SWEET AND THE SAVOURY” directed by Brenda Stanley (Ph: 9417 2801) Setting—early 1900’s. In the kitchen downstairs of a house in London. Cockney accents required. CHARACTERS Maria the Cook—40’s to 50’s (well built) Ada the Parlour Maid—20’s to 30’s (smart with brisk manner) Emily the Kitchen Maid—18 to early 20’s (meek a bit pathetic)
