Monkeywood Theatre are casting Mancunian actors for a research and development project in August – October 2010 to develop our new play which will tour in Spring 2011.
Following our 2010 national tour of Maine Road, we are intensively developing a new play focussing on sisters growing up in South Manchester during the 70s and 80s.
Key dates are:
13 – 18 August: R & D
13 – 22 September: Readthrough and workshops with community groups
13 – 18 October: Rehearsals
19 October: Script in Hand performance
1 – 2 November: Script in Hand performance
As this is an R & D project, the casting requirements are reasonably flexible, so we are considering applications from a diverse range of actors both male and female. However, we are particularly interested to hear from:
- Actors who have experience of creating work collaboratively and/or writing
- Actors who are from and live in Manchester
- Female actors with a playing age of 35 – 50
- Actors who hold a current CRB enhanced disclosure
Please email Spotlight links or cvs and photos, along with a covering letter detailing relevant experience, to info@monkeywoodtheatre.co.uk by Friday 16 July 2010. We are very sorry, but we will only reply to those applicants who are invited to audition.
