AUDITION INFO
Monologue: Please prepare a short 1-2 minute comedic monologue. This can be from a play or film. Memorization is not required. BRITISH DIALECTS are required for the show. Please perform your monologue in a British dialect. You may choose "Standard" RP British or some version of that. Think Downton Abbey and you'll be on the right track.
Audition Prep: This is a fast paced, physical play. Actors will be required to move extensively and speak quickly. Bring that energy to the audition. Remember that we WANT you to be AMAZING. The role of the directing team isn't to judge you, it's to find the BEST cast to bring this play to life. Show us why we need YOU.
Please note that The Cottage contains mature content, adult language, and themes revolving around couples involved in multiple romantic relationships. Scenes will contain adult content and language and actors will need to physicalize certain moments for comedic effect. An intimacy choreographer will be hired and utilized for this production for the safety and comfort of all those cast.
Please review character descriptions below to determine what role might work for you.
Keep in mind that the age breakdown is just a suggestion, if you believe you are a good fit for a certain character, come and audition. If you have the right voice, look, or vibe, you may just get the part!
NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE PLAY TO HELP YOU PREPARE
THE COTTAGE is a romantic and (not quite) murderous comedy of manners. The pacing is intended to be very swift...Characters are often on separate wavelengths, experiencing the same moment in dramatically different ways...Standard British dialect should be adhered to.
