Casting: Contractions

06 Aug 25


Ingrid Miller introduces her SLT directorial debut, Mike Bartlett’s short, sharp, ink-black comedy about work and play. How far would you go to keep your job?

I thoroughly enjoyed the casting process for this play, so a massive thank you to everyone who attended the auditions both in person and via self-tape. Casting a two-hander play can be a complex process, having to make bold choices when faced with a group of exceptionally talented actors.

I’m now very excited to start rehearsals. This is one of the darkest comedies I’ve ever read. Assistant Director Tiru and I are looking forward to working closely with Cal and Marissa to bring this play to life.
