Love Song

Season: 13 April to 5 May 2012 Auditions: Tuesday 17 January & Thursday 19 January, commencing at 7.30 pm Location: Chester St Theatre, Cnr Chester and Oxford Sts Epping. Characters: BEANE [male] aged 20-30 Ideally 25 Older than youthful and weary from working for most of his life in a dead end, repetitive job. Brother to Joan, Bean is an exile from life. Odd, and off-putting his quirks prohibit him from interacting with the world. He is softly spoken/internal as well as at times energetic/extroverted. JOAN [female] aged 30-40 Ideally 35 Youthful, but mature. Sister to Bean, wife to Harry, Joan is a no nonsense businesswoman. Tightly wound and concerned about everyone else’s problems but her own, she is unhappy in her marriage without knowing it. HARRY [male] 35-45 Ideally 40 Not old, not young. Prime. Husband to Joan Harry is jovial, a hobbyist. Successful but takes everything less seriously than his wife (which to his amusement frustrates her to no end) He’d wear a tie to work, but it comes off at the first available opportunity. He’s calm but deliberately so and can be aggressive at a moments notice. MOLLY [female] 20-30 Ideally 25 Confident. Matching age to BEANE A bitter, angry criminal. Molly breaks into people’s homes to find what people like to hide. She is a ‘liberator’ (Burns down houses/destroys possessions). Molly is disgruntled when she attempts to burgle Beans apartment and finds he has nothing to hide but himself. BILL [male] 18-30 A young(ish) waiter appears in one scene. BILL is not unhappy to be at work, but disengaged in the day until his dialogue with BEANE. Auditions will consist of a cold read of material from the play.
