Auditions

Auditions for our November production of Witness for the Prosecution will be held on Monday July 20th and Tuesday July 21st at 6:30pm.  Please come early to complete paperwork.  No appointment times needed.   There will be a short briefing prior to the auditions.

Audition pieces and character notes are shown below.   Please note that the pieces are intended to explore the nature of the characters and are, sometimes, quite brief.  

The characters, in no particular order, are:  (4F, 6M, 5M/F)
Robarts:      M/F, 50’s, Very well regarded and proper barrister.  Quite forthright.  Hates to lose.
Mr. Justice Wainwright:      M, 60’s , Austere and very correct.  Probably just about to get a knighthood.  A proper Judge
Myers, Q.C.:      M/F, 50’s, Well regarded silk and very competitive.  Wants to beat Robarts
Mayhew:      M/F, 50’s, A serious gentleman who defers to Robarts
Girl:      F, 25, A young woman (the other Woman), overly influenced by Vole.  
Insp. Hearne:      M, 50’s, Typical police inspector
Mr. Carter:      M, An office manager in a barrister’s chamber.  Somewhat self-important.
Greta:      F,  20’s, A bit vague but keeps her wits about her
Clerk of the Court:      M, 40+, Officious and loud, when needed. 
Policeman:      M, 45+, Typical policeman.
Dr. Wyatt:      M/F, 50’s, Police Surgeon. A medical expert and pompous in that regard.
Janet Mackenzie:      F, 60+, Scottish housekeeper.  A busybody and resents Vole.
Clegg:      M/F, 40+, Forensic Expert, Studious type
Leonard Vole:  M, Late 30’s early 40’s, believably naive.  Convincing as an innocent.
Romaine (also Woman):  F, 40’s, Firstly with a German accent. So clever that her observers do not quite know what she is up to.  Secondly as a cockney “homeless” woman and quite different.
