A quick Message from the director of Garrick's next show, Lynne Devenish. Auditions have already been held, but as is sadly the way in Community Theatre, there is a requirement for more. Now from Lynne herself...

While some roles are cast, until I have a full complement, I cannot designate all the characters as I like to match my actors. Therefore all potentially vacant roles are advertised.
 
Dick Bennett - 40's, Australian, editor of the Australian Voice. Long time friend of Marge, lives alone in a rented flat and is regular visitor to Marge's holiday house in Sorrento.
 
Marge Morrisey - late 50's again flexible, teacher, divorcee mother of four. Empty nester, has holiday house in Sorrento that she visits every weekend.
 
Edwin Bates -  40's age flexible. Englishman married to Meg. Partner in successful London publishing firm. Quiet, unassuming with hidden depths.
 
the 3 sisters
Hilary Moynihan - eldest of the 3 sisters, late 30's early 40's. Lives in family home, with her father,Wal and 16 yo son, Troy. Her husband was killed in a car accident. Owns a small gourmet deli in the main Street.
 
Meg Moynihan -  middle sister, novelist and expatriate. Lived in  London for 10, so can have English overtones to her Australian accent. Second novel has been nominated for Booker prize.
 
Pippa - youngest sister, well travelled currently living in New York, so can have American overtones to her Australian accent. Highly paid advertising executive.

EDIT - ADDITIONAL

Wal Moyniham - late 60's early 70's father of Hilary, Pippa and Meg. He is retired now, having been proprietor of the local garage, Moynihan Motors. His family has been in Sorrento for generations, and as a result he is a local character.
