Much Ado About Nothing

IT'S BACK ON!!! Due to various personal issues clarifying a little bit, Roletsone's production of "Much Ado About Nothing" is back on! Audition will be held at 7pm on the following two evenings: Monday 30 April and Wednesday 9 May, with rehearsals to commence very quickly after the second audition Season is late July IMPORTANT NOTE Due to the director's work commitments, the rehearsal schedule will need to be incredibly flexible, as rehearsals may be changed at the last minute due to changing shifts. If this is going to be a problem, please don't audition. On the other hand, if I am asking you to be flexible, then of course I am going to be flexible as well. List of characters: Four named female characeters: *Hero, daughter to Leonato. *Beatrice, niece to Leonato. Margaret, waiting gentlewoman attending on Hero. Ursula, waiting gentlewoman attending on Hero. Twelve named male characters *Don Pedro, Prince of Arragon. Don John, his bastard brother. *Claudio, a young lord of Florence. – SINGS *Benedick, a Young lord of Padua. – SINGS (but can be badly) *Leonato, Governor of Messina. Antonio, an old man, his brother. Balthasar, attendant on Don Pedro. – SINGS (ability to play acoustic guitar would be VERY handy) Borachio, follower of Don John. Conrade, follower of Don John. *Friar Francis. Dogberry, a Constable. Verges, a Headborough. Plus a handful of other bit parts Cross-gender casting will definitely be considered, depending on actor and role. Prepared monologues are not required, but are highly recommended for those going for the asterisked roles. Concept: At this stage we are looking at actually setting the play in Sicily (ie where it’s actually set) but the timing may be a little more recently… For audition bookings please email the director: pauljtreasure@gmail.com YOU MUST EMAIL THE DIRECTOR YOUR INTENTION TO AUDITION IN CASE THE AUDITIONS DATES ARE CHANGED AT THE LAST MINUTE.
