Life x 3

Cast    (ages are stage ages only)

Henri: mid 30s-early 40s.  An author/theorist hoping to have a paper published in a scientific journal.  A born worrier, endearingly self-obsessed- consequently not the best dad in the world.

Sonia: mid 30s-early 40s.  Henri’s wife.  Patient, but not endlessly so.  A professional woman balancing motherhood, career and a burgeoning desire to kick her husband in the pants on an hourly basis..

Hubert:  mid 40s-mid 60s.  Owner of the publication Henri is hoping to get his piece in.  Slightly boorish, but not overly unpleasant with it.  Carries himself with the air of one who thinks they should have been born royalty.

Ines: late 20s-early 50s.  Hubert’s wife.  Glamorous, but much more than a trophy-spouse.  Suffers the barbs of Hubert with thinly-veiled contempt, but is a very good foil for him.  Can occasionally become an expert on any subject, to the dismay of her audience.

As you can see, there is a lot of age flexibility for each role; what will be of critical importance is the gelling of the four characters.  How well the actors work together will be the principal criterion on how the play is cast, and not “how they look” alone.

Audition requirements: Please prepare a short piece that you are comfortable  will demonstrate your acting abilities.  It can be comic or dramatic, as long as it shows you in a favourable light.

You will also be asked to read from the play with fellow auditionees, so please be prepared to stay back for a few minutes after your audition.

Perusal copies of the script will be available upon request.  Please contact me on deepend5@tpg.com.au or 0439 970 530 to obtain a copy and to book your audition.
