Audition Notice – Disposing of the Body

Sep 15, 2024 | Auditions

Disposing of the Body

Directed by Gordon Park

Auditions for Hugh Whitemore’s Play “Disposing of the Body” will be held on Sat 5th October 10am – Noon ( approx.) at The limelight Theatre.

From the pen of the playwright who gave us “Pack of Lies” and “Breaking the Code” comes this elegant and tantalising play. When life starts to fade into a summery drowsy twilight, you should be taking things a little easier… But for Henry Preece, embarking on retirement with his wife, things start to unravel. “All my life”, he says, “I’ve either been looking back at happy times that have gone or looking forward to the happiness to come.” When an unexpected passion is given full rein Henry realises that the door he’s just flung open should have remained tightly shut. This is an intriguing play, full of unexpected happenings.

Roles for Audition and approx. age

  • Henry Preece – 50-60ish
  • Angela ( Henry’s wife )- 50ish
  • Ben (Their son) – 20-30ish
  • Alexander Barley -50-60ish
  • Joanna ( Alexander’s wife )- 40-50ish
  • Kate Preece (Henry’s sister )- 50ish
  • Det Inspector Clive Poole- 40ish
  • Bassett – A Hotel Manager -30ish

Season Dates are as follows – Feb 27th – 15th March 2025 , Please only audition if you are available between these dates and are flexible to rehearse in the weeks leading up to these dates from Dec 2024 . Please contact Gordon @ [email protected] for more information – Many Thanks.
