Casting: Wanderlust
08 Jan 26
Director Owen Thomas James introduces the cast for his SLT directorial debut, a play by the popular playwright Nick Payne which explores issues surrounding sexual relationships at different stages of life.
Casting Wanderlust has been both a delight and genuinely difficult. The audition room was filled with laughter as we watched these characters come to life, and choosing from such talented auditionees was incredibly tough. In the end, our decisions came down to chemistry and the sparks that were created when our now cast connected with each other and the material. To everyone who auditioned: thank you for bringing such energy, humor, and enthusiasm. You've given us a glimpse of what's to come in April, and I hope you'll join us to see where this awkwardly funny journey takes us on stage.
