Sometimes there may be a need to rehearse on Saturdays and to rehearse on different days and times. Most actors will only be called for 2 rehearsals a week until the final few weeks, when actors should be prepared to rehearse on up to 4 days a week.

Audition details

You do not need to prepare anything, as audition speeches from the play will be provided on the day for you to look at. It will be helpful to have read the play, however, so that you have an understanding of the character/s you are auditioning for. Please also make sure you arrive on time.

Synopsis

Paul has made a killing with a computer game he invented in a fit of pique at his dad, who thought he was wasting the advantages a privileged childhood had bought him.

Alan plots retribution on the man he holds responsible for murdering his son. But did he neglect his own duty, leaving his son unprotected and with no idea what it means to be a man?

Davey, raised in poverty by his mum, is left negotiating his violent neighbourhood, where everyone turns a blind eye to the bullies who hold sway.

In this heartbreaking, painful three-hander, these interconnected stories – told through a series of compelling monologues – gradually interconnect to reveal a devastating tale of violence, loss and revenge.
