AUDITION INFO
Monologue: Please prepare a short 1-2 minute dramatic monologue.
Audition Prep: This is essentially a "two-hander". There is a third role of the sheriff that is vital to the play and appears in two scenes. The rest of the play consists of Paul & Annie and the terrifying situation that ensues.
The actor who plays Annie will take on an iconic role that is incredibly difficult. Annie is both sweet and psychotic all at once. And the role of Paul is physical and equally difficult psychologically. In other words, the types of roles that most actors dream of playing. So, please prepare accordingly.

Character Breakdown
ANNIE WILKES
(Female Presenting, 40s – 60s – any Race)
A nurse who comes to Paul’s rescue (seemingly), Annie seems to be a kind, tender woman who cares deeply for Paul, even if she does seem slightly off. As Paul grows to know her it becomes clearer that Annie is manipulative, cunning, and hides a deep set and terrifying malice behind her cheery simple façade.
PAUL SHELDON
(Male Presenting, Late 30s – Early 60s – any race)
A famed romance novelist tired of the series that has brought him the most acclaim. Returning from a retreat to finish his most recent work, he is involved in a terrible car crash that leaves him with broken legs and unable to care for himself. He’s thoughtful, if not a touch arrogant, and extremely crafty. He quickly realizes how dangerous his situation is and must use anything and everything at his disposal to survive.
BUSTER
(Male Presenting, Late 30s – Late 60s, any race)
The Sherriff of a nearby town searching for Paul. Very friendly with possible hopes of something more with Annie.
