Roles for teenagers!
Tue, 19 Mar 2002, 04:39 pmAs many teens come onto this site complaining that there aren't enough roles for their age group this is to let you know that Playlovers next production Tom Stoppard's ARCADIA (directed by Bethne Crisafulli) has four fabulous parts for this age group:
Thomasina Coverly, aged thirteen, later sixteen: A precocious youngster, Thomasina begins the play enquiring about the definition of carnal embrace. Her immediate naïveté is deceiving as it becomes evident that her intelligence rates to that of a genius. She is strikingly sophisticated yet this characteristic goes unnoticed by those who surround her.
Chloe Coverly, aged eighteen: An infatuation with Bernard leads to her interest in the circumstances surrounding the early times of the Sidley Park. She is Valentine's sister and is constantly bringing up sexual innuendoes or inferences.
Gus Coverly, aged fifteen: Brother of Chloe and Valentine, he is always silent; however, his family refers to him as a genius. His entrances are short and quick, yet he always manages to give Hannah, whom he secretly loves, a loving look or simple smile.
Augustus Coverly, aged fifteen (usually played by the same actor as Gus): He is the young man of the house during the 1800's. He is sharp witted and schemes to get Thomasina in trouble by revealing her secrets to their parents. He is intelligent with a touch of snobbery due to his attendance at the prestigious Eton school.
There are also plenty of great roles for other age groups and both sexes!
