“Over My Dead Body”

Over My Dead Body synopsis : Gerald, a recent widower, is looking forward to spending the rest of his days alone in gentle pursuits and the quiet contemplation of his memories. However, he hasn’t taken into account his wife’s ‘Forward Planning’, which results in a series of unexpected, hilarious visits and events that Gerald certainly had not anticipated. With the help of his daughter and son-in-law, Gerald strives to maintain his independence and keep these unexpected female visitors at bay. To complicate matters even further dark secrets are exposed from the past that are both funny and poignant. A delightfully witty and hilarious comedy, with a couple of final twists, that will make you roar with laughter one minute, feel sad the next and leave you wondering what may be in store for you as you get older. 2012 Season dates : September 20, 21, 22, 23 (matinee), 26, 28, 29, 30 (matinee), October 3, 5 and 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Over My Dead Body” audition details: Date : Wednesday 11th July 2012 at 7pm Venue : Harbour Theatre Directors : Peter Kirkwood, Sherrilee Walsh Contact : 0435 503 639 or peteratharbourtheatre@gmail.com CHARACTERS REQUIRED : Note that ages stated are stage ages and are flexible Gerald James : a widower (mid to late 60s) Shirley Tyler : his daughter (mid 30s – 40s) Mark Tyler : his son-in-law (mid 30s – 40s) Amanda Eddison : his sister-in-law (60s) Isobel French : an old friend (60s) Carol Capstick : the cleaning lady (30s)
