Experienced Female Actor 45-55 for One Woman Show
at Susie Shegog Productions - Melbourne
"Moving On" is a one woman play (with music, lyrics and a small amount of basic choreography). An experienced female actor with singing and movement ability is required. There is a large amount of dialogue to learn and remember, so it's imperative that you are good at remembering lines!
Synopsis:
"All Women become like their mothers" - Oscar Wilde.
Maggie is middle-aged. She returns to her childhood home to "go through" her recently deceased, widowed-mother's estate. Edna lived there for half a centuray...longer. The house is full of "things". Maggie's memories flood back. There are long-forgotten photos, toys, newpapers and knick-knacks. Edna was a hoarder. Who gets what? What do you keep? What will Maggie discover?
Character:
Maggie is fifty, give or take the odd decade and has gone through most of life's experiences. But she is still able to be surprised and inspired. After school, Maggie dropped out of university and worked in her grandfather's hardware store for several years. After her children were born she started work as a teacher's aide at her local primary school.
"A most engrossing piece which many will be able to relate to. It has a strong script which probes, enabling the highs and lows of this family to emerge and Moving On has music and lyrics which form an integral part of the story....it is a compelling piece. You'll laugh, you'll cry and I think come away totally satisfied. In other words, it's a winner. It's highly recommended"
