AUDITIONS - The Elephant Man

AUDITION NOTICE
The Elephant Man
by Bernard Pomerance
The Naked Emotion Ensemble is presenting this Tony Award-winning play in May of 2003, at the Rechabites Hall in Northbridge, directed by David Meadows (Mozart & Salieri; Britannicus).
This will be a spare, actor-based production, requiring actors capable of tremendous subtlety and economy of gesture.
ROLES:
JOSEPH (JOHN) MERRICK:
Male. Early 20's.
The title character. A gentle, sweet-natured young man with a genuinely beautiful soul, trapped inside a body crippled by hideous deformities. As per the playwright's instructions, Merrick will be played without any "special make-up". The actor will be required to give the impression of Merrick's severe physical abnormalities through sheer acting ability, rather than through a mound of latex. PLEASE NOTE: Persons with a history of back trouble are dissuaded from auditioning for this role.
FREDERICK TREVES:
Male. Early 30's.
The doctor who rescues Merrick from the circus sideshow. A deeply sensitive, intelligent, and thoughtful man. Despite the positive aspects of his humane act of charity towards Merrick, he nonetheless remains plagued with doubt over the negative aspects.
MRS KENDAL:
Female. 30-50.
The leading West-End actress who becomes one of Merrick's closest and most loyal friends. A passionate, eloquent woman with a warm heart and an artist's sensibilities.
CARR GOMM:
Male. 50-60.
Administrator of the London Hospital. A gentleman and a scholar. A decent, pragmatic man with real compassion for Merrick's plight.
ROSS - Merrick's "owner"
BISHOP WALSHAM HOW - the hospital chaplain
SNORK - an orderly
Male. 30-50.

NURSE SANDWICH
PRINCESS ALEXANDRA
DUCHESS
JELLY WILLOW

Re: AUDITIONS - The Elephant Man
HI Dave
As you've probably surmised, your earlier post failed to send an email to subscribers as you didn't provide an From email address when posting it.. It's worth noting that the message is probably seen by 5-10 times as many people visiting the site as read the list anyway.
:-)
Incidentally, faked email addresses - such as nakedemotion@bigolpond.com - will occasionally cause problems as the site does try to check whether or not you've supplied a valid email address. I'll have a look at switching this off as I know some people are paranoid about their email address being spammed.
Cheers
