Audition one
Date: 28 Aug 2023
Time: 20:00 - 22:00
Location: SLT - SE27 9LS
Special Audition Alert!
We are auditioning the role of THE BEAST earlier than the rest of the cast. This is because we require the actor playing the beast to learn to walk on stilts and to take part in the workshop where we will build The Beast puppet. We are also looking for two people to take on puppeteer roles in the show.
All three actors will be crucial in forming the role of THE BEAST.

Director: Jo Boniface
Performances: 12 - 21 Dec 2023
First Rehearsal: 24 Sep 2023
Characters:
The Beast: One male actor to voice/act the beast. This actor will be inside a beast puppet/frame. Physically demanding role and will transform into the ‘real life’ beast at the end. Age 20-40 ish. Two actors of any gender to operate the arms of the beast. Physically demanding role. No experience of puppetry necessary but bonus if you do! There is also shadow puppetry in the show so no doubt will be involved in that as well.
Once these roles are cast we will book space to develop the puppet of The Beast. If you are interested in being involved in this process in any capacity please contact the director.
