So here we are again! Another production looming ('Bannockburn! The 'almost' true story.'and once again, a lack of suitable young men to fill major roles! Yes Danni! I know I should write for the lassies, and things will be easier, but that's for days of future passed...reet noo! We're on the hunt for that rarest of beasts... the wild "Scottish Highlander!' I'm reliably informed that there are thousands of Scots scattered over this here state, well we're going to find the buggers! Last time I went in search of a dwarf, and failed miserably. This time I refuse to give in! So, if any of you actors out there, know of Scottish actors, or actors who can pretend to be Scots (note: that doesn't include your friends who hide under the table when it's their roond!) can yee let me know? Oh, and I'd be interested to hear of other avenues for finding male actors , for we may neeed to spread the net far and wide. We will of course target, Celtic clubs and the like. Let's see what a new day brings. All help would be most appreciated. PS: For more on the show, see this site - auditions / performances. Johhny Grim A laddie in sane

Oh you mean 'guys'. I

Oh you mean 'guys'. I thought you meant Guy Fawkes effigies. Sorry.

Yes Mr Grim, that really is

Yes Mr Grim, that really is very sloppy of you. Didn't you know that nowadays even girls are guys? Personally, I've never been a guy, never will be a guy and only just tolerate (through gritted teeth) being referred to as a guy. After all, I'm not a dummy or a piece of sailing ship rigging, I'm not American and my name certainly isn't Guy. No, I'm a BLOKE and proud of it! So, do you still want me? Come on all you young blokes, I've seen the script and it's very funny as well as conveying an anti-war message. Some of us old blokes can't get away with playing twenty-year-olds any more, so . . . we need you!

Which state

http://www.barkerpendree.nl I've learnt the Scottish accent (of sorts) from youtube and of course need some "refining" but I'm an actor and musician so that won't be a problem. THe last play I auditioned for I did the Scots man and they loved it. However, I'm in Melbourne, VIC and don't know to which state you are referring. If interested contact me via barkerpendree@yahoo.com cheers Nick Barker-Pendree

Flys & Mosquitoes

As Tim's newly acquired housemate and (apparently) "rest enforcer", I can state categorically that getting Tim to come to a complete stand still is as difficult as training mosquitoes not to draw blood or flies not to be annoying. (Pardon the metaphor Tim.)

The "Blokes" dedication to the theatre and to his friends is his life, and even slowing down is more painful for him than the affliction that leaves him breathless.

Short of a straight jacket and severe medication, stopping Tim is darn near impossible!

HOWEVER, we can do something to assist - contact John with any and all names you can think of that may fit the bill for "Bannockburn". That will help lessen the load...
