Hello all

This is just a note to inform any male actors out there that there are two roles open for the NSW Premiere production of The Castle.

Rehearsals will be held in Merrylands NSW and Performances will be in April 2005 at Wentowrthville (two suburbs over from Parramatta)

The roles are:

ACTOR 1 - LAWRIE / JOHN CLIFTON
A split role, this actor has 100 lines and appears at the beginning and end of the play. For those of you who know the movie, Lawrie is the Bud Tingwell character, the QC who ends up defending the Kerrigans in the Supreme Court. Clifton is in one scene, and appears at the beginning to evealuate the Kerrigan home. Late thirties to late forties.

ACTOR 2 - JACK / MR LYLE
Actor must have a look of late sixties to seventies. jack is the loveable neighbour of the Kerrigans and Mr Lyle is the opposing QC. Approximately 70 lines and has a good chunk of the play to get through.

I am looking for two male actors who consider themselves to be character actors. THIS IS NOT PAID WORK, it is for the amateur circuit.

If anyone is interested, first rehearsal is on Tuesday 30th November 7:30 - 10:30pm at Merrylands United Church Hall, memorial Avenue.

Please contact the director Jonathon Anderson on 9893 9678 or 0422 126 077 if you wish to take on these roles.

Thank you

You need to contact Working Dog productions becasue they will give you the film script and then there are conditions to adapt it to the stage. However, you need to do the adaptation yourself.

Our production goes on In April next year and Im not sure what their policy is on multiple productions as only one other group in Melbourne have done it.

But yes, contact Working Dog Productions
