Audition Applications Close at the beginning of May.
1984 Up Late - Adapted for stage and directed by James Adler
The communist era is a thing of the past, but aspects of the Orwellian paradigm subtly pervade our times. Corporations, advertising, political spin-doctoring, and dreams of fame, control our actions. This multidisciplinary production uses an original music score, physical theatre and film to merge the story of 1984 into the game-show world of Big Brother Up Late. The question it asks is: have we become our own Big Brothers?
1984 Up Late will be staged as part of a rep. Season in conjunction with the Macbeth (note performers will not be performing in both shows). Both shows will be touring to schools, followed by an in-theatre season at Studio 1, Northcote Town Hall
School Tours: Monday 27th July – Friday 7th Aug (Day times)
In-theatre season: Tuesday 11th Aug – Saturday 22nd Aug (Matinees and Evening Shows)
Rehearsals will begin on the 31st of May and span over an 8 week period, Mondays and Wednesday 6:30 – 10:30 and Sundays 11am – 6pm.
The payment is on a profit share basis.
People interested in auditioning for these roles MUST be interested in working closely together with a multidisciplinary ensemble and willing to attend ensemble rehearsals as well as participating in ensemble work.
If this is you send a CV and Headshot a brief statement about which role you are interested in and what about the role/character interests you to James@Eaglesnesttheatre.com
If the director believes that you fit one of the roles you will then be sent a script and given an audition time. Audition times will take place in the last week of April or the first week of May.
Auditions will take place at THE NEST – 24 Hardy Street Brunswick
