Before. But I waited. I waited until it was dark. \nRebecca and Paul are running away to try to save their relationship. A remote mountain lodge is the perfect place to work things out.

But he has no idea what his next line is\, or even what play he’s in. And why isn’t he wearing his trousers? American absurdist Christopher Durang harnesses every thespian’s most dreaded night terror to deliriously silly comic effect\, as hapless and increasingly desperate protagonist George is swept up in a crazy stampede through theatrical genres from Noel Coward to Shakespeare. \nGEORGE (male\, 20s-40s\, American accent) \nMEG (female\, 20s-40s) a stage manager \nSARAH SIDDONS (female\, 20s-50s) a glamorous actress \nDAME ELLEN TERRY (female\, 20s-50s) another famous actress \nHENRY IRVING (male\, 20s-50s) a grand actor \nThe Actor’s Nightmare audition pieces: THE ACTORS NIGHTMARE AUDITION.pdf \nTaken by Winsome Pinnock \nDirected by Aiste Mizgeryte \nAUDITION DATE: Tuesday 8 April at 18.30 \nPERFORMANCE DATES: Sunday 8 June 18.00\, Saturday 14 June 18.30\, Sunday 15 June 20.00 \nYou’re not real.

Nana Nola\, Della’s mother\, has a memory that is starting to play tricks on her\, but she is still sharp enough to sense when something isn’t right. As time bends and the weight of the past presses in\, three generations of women must navigate old wounds\, unspoken truths\, and the aching need for redemption. Winsome Pinnock’s gripping drama is a story of love\, loss\, and the desperate search for a flicker of hope in the shadows of yesterday. \nDELLA (female\, 40s) \nNOLA (female\, 20s) \nNANA NOLA (female\, 60s) \nTaken audition pieces: Taken – Audition Pieces (2).pdf \n** \nThere by Geoff Saunders \nDirected by Geoff Saunders and Richard Seedhouse \nAUDITION DATE: Wednesday 9 April at 19.00 \nPERFORMANCE DATES: Friday 20 June 19.45\, Saturday 21 June 16.30\, Sunday 22 June 20.00 \nFalling in\, falling out\, falling apart. How to handle friendships the grown-up way. \nLondon. Four pairs of friends. Adam and Lucas’s new friendship is tested when they discover they have very different values.
