Audition pieces and information for:
"Our summer production is Wind in the Willows. This much-loved, classic children’s storybook by Kenneth Grahame has been adapted by Alan Bennett and will feature all the familiar characters including Toad, Ratty, Mole and Badger as well as some not so familiar woodland creatures who will be played by two teams of young people. It is a large cast and there will be some doubling up of the smaller roles (not listed here).
Mole
Rat
Toad
Badger
Albert, a horse
Chief Weasel
Norman, a weasel
Fox
Otter
Gerald, a ferret
Sgt Fred, a ferret
Magistrate
Gaolers Daughter
Train Driver
Barge woman Washerwoman
Gypsy
The director is looking for “animal characterisation” – there will not be animal masks, face-paints or furry costumes. The animal should be shown through mannerisms instead (remember this at auditions!). There are parts for children and there will be 10-12 children cast in 2 separate casts (5-6 per cast). There are 5 songs in the performance; however, please do not let this put you off auditioning; the songs could be sung by the children or by a different character. Please mark on your audition form if you are comfortable singing. Please note that anyone cast will be expected to participate in marketing the show (e.g. Costumed leaflet hand outs)
The audition pieces will be available at the reading on Friday, 6th April. You can also download them below.
We look forward to seeing you at the reading and auditions!
Reading : Friday, 6 April at 7.45pm. TONIGHT!
Auditions : 10am, Saturday 7 April; 2pm, Sunday 8 April; 7.45pm, Sunday 8 April (for adults only)."
