Written by David Williamson
Directed by Neil Moulang
Season: 8th May to 13th June 2020
Audition details:
When: Wednesday, 29th January 2020 at 7pm
Where: Arts Theatre Cronulla, 6 Surf Road, Cronulla
Auditions are open to everyone, and if selected, you will need to become a member of the theatre ($25), if you are not a current financial member.
Rehearsals commence Monday, 10th February 2020 (or Tuesdays if we want to be flexible) and Thursdays from 7pm. Not all actors will be required every rehearsal so there is every chance we can work around any attendance issues.
From the Director:
This play is a comedy/drama set in the early 70s, that focuses on that great Australian rivalry and tyranny of distance between Melbourne, Sydney and the far north of Queensland. All roles offer great characters for actors to really bring to life on stage in this very funny, and also at times, sad reflection of family values combined with that typical Australian ideal of Travelling North in your later years to seek the warmer climate.
Please don’t hold back from auditioning. If a director doesn’t know you want to have a go, it makes it really difficult for a director to know you were thinking about a role. This also applies if you want to try stage managing or stage hand – let the director know early and we can get training ASAP.
Cast:
Frank (M 70+)
Frances (F 50-55)

Wedding Celebrant / Gallery Attendant
Accents – this is an Australian play. The only characters who could possibly not have an Australian accent is Doctor Saul Morenstien, but even Saul is very much an Aussie or the Wedding Celebrant/ Gallery Attendant. (Minor roles) but good fun.
