at Last Drinks Productions - Sydney
Last Drinks Productions and The Sydney Fringe present “The Local” Written by Richie Black.
To be performed at The Sidetrack Theatre between Thurs 22Sep to Sun 25Sep
Directed by Mick Hammell and Produced by Richie Black and Jodine Muir.
Audition Dates: Thurs 18Aug + Sun 21Aug
Audition Times: Thurs 19-22:00PM; Sun 12-16:00PM
Rehearsal Period: Mon 22Aug to Wed 21Sep
Rehearsal Times: Mon – Thurs evenings / Weekend days
We need committed, enthusiastic actors looking to invest time and energy over a short rehearsal period. Performers should have an imaginative flair for comedy as well as a can-do approach to helping out behind the scenes. The production is unpaid.
We are looking for 5 Males / 2 Females:
• BEN: 30-something elder brother – a rough-as-guts cricket tragic and ex-con, desperately trying to reinvent himself. A sometimes violent hard-nut, Ben is also perversely sensitive and likeable.
• KEITH: His younger brother, a devious reprobate with a line in cutting wit and a tendency toward criminal activities ranging from thievery and vandalism to wholesale acts of terrorism. This is a strong comic role, a wicked if not-quite evil malcontent, charming and disgusting in equal measure.
• GARY: 30-40-something owner of the bar – a smugly acerbic, aging Peter Pan with a taste for Botox and skin-peels. A fun, quick-witted antagonistic with a dark secret.
• MATT: 20-30 a young good-looking dude whose metro sexual tendencies fail to disguise the fact he is a boofhead.
• TIMMY: 20-25 a wide-eyed innocent thrust into the limelight as favoured member of eldest brother’s cricket team.
Note the roles of Matt and Timmy could be played by one versatile actor.
• ASHLEY: 20-30. The heroine of the piece, we find her at a moment in her life where she is suddenly compelled to re-examine herself and reject the formula of the society girl. Her good looks and glamour have led people to underestimate her, but she has a strong intelligence and is now ready to rebel.
• LUCY: 20-30. Deranged sister of our heroes. An obsessive sociopath, she is more dangerous than her siblings. At times, she is just subtly menacing, but she is quick to snap, and has a monstrous tendency toward extreme behaviour.
