As part of their 2012 season, Phoenix Theatre will present the debut of my new play. A comedy / drama entitled 'Tainted Love.' Tainted Love takes us into the lives of four middle aged working class girls, born and raised in the city of....??? Now, this is where things could get interesting...the play is set in Liverpool, however, that could be changed to Manchester, or Yorkshire, pending me finding four girls with similar accents for the obvious reason of authenticity. At this early stage I'm merely seeking interest from actors who are from, or can carry, a Liverpool, Manchester or Yorkshire accent. PS: For those who may have seen the one act play 'Profound Moments' that Phoenix touted around last years festival circuit, dare I say, this could be considered the full-length version. One thing I can promise. There's a whole lot of fun to be had for the cast of this one. For more info, or a no obligation chat, please contact me via email johnnygrim@optusnet.com.au Alternatively...mobile number... 0430 889 789. cheers Johnny Grim (Formerly A lad in sane productions)

Scouse help.

Hi Grim-ness, My dad's entire family hails from Liverpool, and whilst they're not actors they could certainly help with coaching. I shall ask. However, mah wahf does a good scouse accent....

I'm English and from the south but I can do a yorkshire accent as I lived there for the last 7 years. I can also do a Liverpool accent but not quite as well.

When I was growing up in

When I was growing up in theatre on Tyneside, I could do most of the 50 odd british accent or at least be able to tell within less than 50 miles of the area & locality of the accent. But these days since the advent of TV in the 50"s they are reduced to larger particular regional areas encompassing similar dialects within the Counties of the 'Ol' Dart!
