AUDITIONS

THE (REAL) MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR (GARDENS)

5th & 19th July

 

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬

Margaret and Alice are wealthy, independent women. An unscrupulous noble, Falstaff, tries to seduce them both to get his hands on their money. The wives are smarter than him, and instead he’s humiliated. Their husbands think they know better too, but don’t. Anne’s parents try to arrange her marriage to two different men, but she outsmarts everyone and marries who she wants.

 

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

This production will present the Shakespeare comedy using the language from the First Folio but resetting the time and place to a 21st century Adelaide suburb, leaning into reality television. It’s a story to challenge preconceptions of gender, culture, class and influence – but always to entertain.

 

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

Group Auditions will be held over two Saturdays, book-ending the school holidays: 5th July & 19th July.

You will need to prepare a short Shakespearean monologue or soliloquy.

39 Steps

The 39 Steps

25 October - 3 November 2024
 
Adapted by Patrick Barlow

From the novel by John Buchan

From the movie by Alfred Hitchcock

 

A whisky, two stubborn singletons bound by handcuffs, and a chase from London to the Scottish Highlands, The 39 Steps takes a Hitchcock masterpiece based on the ground-breaking spy novel by John Buchan and transforms it into a theatrical spectacle of comedy, action, romance, and fresh fish.
 

Adapted by Patrick Barlow for the West End and Broadway, this Olivier and two-time Tony award winning play has dozens of characters – all played by a ridiculously talented cast of four – with sound effects created live by an on-stage foley artist. The play is a pastiche of Hitchcock’s 1935 film (and his other works), creating laugh-out-loud comedy from witty dialogue – often unchanged from Hitchcock’s writers – and inventive stagecraft, on a stripped-back set in the intimate surroundings of University of Adelaide’s Little Theatre.

 

CONTENT WARNING
Mild violence, sexual tension, political ideology.
The performance may also contain an instance of flashing lights, simulations of gunshots, whisky drinking, and fish frying.
