AUDITIONS FOR MAY PLAY
You are invited to auditions for our may production. We have finally been able to choose a fantastic, spine-tingling mystery thriller for our next production on 15, 16 and 17 May, The Edge of Darkness by Brian Clemens, to be directed by Ralph Wigg.
Set at the beginning of the last century, Emma, after her disappearance several years ago, finds her memory is damaged; there is much she does not recognize or understand. Why does she appear familiar with certain Russian phrases; why has she such a horror of a harmless silver bell, of a portrait on the wall, of knives? Is she, in fact, Emma Cranwell? Behind these questions looms a menacing mystery which finally erupts into violence and horror.
The female characters' ages range from mid-20s to late 40s and the male characters from mid-30s to late 40s. Please note the ages of all but one are adaptable: remember, it's not how old you are, but how your age is perceived by the audiences.
A note from Ralph: it's thriller time again and this time it's one by a master of the genre, Brian Clemens. He boasts a vast portfolio of stage and screen work, including the still fondly remembered TV thriller series. It will be forty years, almost to the day since I last directed The Edge of Darkness; it was a success then and we intend to make it even more so this May. I'm excited at the prospect and very much hope you'll come and help me make the edge of darkness a worthy follow-on from last year's Dark Lucy.
Auditions are on 20 and 23 January at 7.30pm in the Windmill room at West Chiltington Village Hall, RH20 2PZ. If you are interested in taking part, please do come along on either or both evenings. We also welcome any who are interested in helping out behind the scenes, especially costumes, as this is a period drama.
