AddressTBC
Graduate Dramatic Society is holding auditions for its up-coming production "I Hate Hamlet", by Paul Rudnick, writer of the hit Kevin Kline movie "In & Out".
The third in it's triptych of Hamlet plays (beginning with "Hamlet", and followed by the soon-to-open "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"), "I Hate Hamlet" is to be directed by David Meadows, the highly-praised star of "Hamlet".
The season is: August 30 - September 14, 2002, at the Dolphin Theatre, U.W.A.
Venue TBC.
The characters up for grabs are as follows:
ANDREW RALLY
An actor, in his late twenties or early thirties. Handsome and charming, possessing the polished ease of a television star. Could easily glide through life, wafting on a cloud of good looks and affability. Not without ego, however. More than accustomed to being the centre of attention.
JOHN BARRYMORE
Permanently dressed as Hamlet... black tights, a black velvet tunic with a wide, slashed neck, a jewelled belt from which a golden dagger hangs, and a full-length cape. Phenomenally sexual and dashing. The very image of a sly, romantic hero.
DEIRDRE McDAVEY
AndrewÂ’s girlfriend. Twenty-nine years old, but appearing much younger. The breathless soul of romantic enthusiasm. Always on the verge of a swoon. To Deirdre, life is a miracle a minute. Irresistibly appealing... a Valley girl imagining herself a Brontë heroine.
GARY PETER LEFKOWITZ
Thirty-something. The personification of L.A. shaggy-chic. Wears extremely expensive casual clothing, like an Armani suit, or a $5,000 suede jacket... with a baseball cap. An extremely happy, overgrown child... an oddly appealing creature of pure appetite. Reality is of little consequence to Gary; the deal is all.
LILLIAN TROY
AndrewÂ’s agent. A striking, silver-haired woman in her seventies. Speaks with a regal German accent, and has a no-nonsense manner, combined with a delight at any sort of hi-jinks. When she coughs, itÂ’s a real smokerÂ’s hack.
FELICIA DANTINE
A tall, imposing woman, with a mane of boldly streaked hair. A real estate agent, with an almost carnal passion for Manhattan apartments. Speaks in a hoarse, buoyant voice, with a hint of Queens nasality; a jubilant New York honk.
