AUDITION DATE is Tuesday November 19th, 2024 in The Company Room, upstairs at The Rose Centre. All welcome to try out for the hilarious Ray Cooney farce, Out of Order, directed by Reg Williams to be on stage next March.
Season is 29th March to 12th April 2025.
CHARACTERS NEEDED:
This is a true farce - it is played at breakneck speed with a reliance on a performance accuracy, necessary in a comedy of this genre. This only works when lines and business are consistent and timed perfectly.
RICHARD WILLEY - mid 30s sauve, successful, slick politician man and a Junior Minister in the Government of the day, used to getting his own way
GEORGE PIGDEN - mid 30s Willey's chief assistant, an upright pleasant man who tries his best in all situations
JANE WORTHINGTON - 20s A secretary for the Leader of the Opposition -an attractive but ditzy young lady who is all about having fun
THE MANAGER - middle aged, a severe man who is trying his best to run a hotel
THE WAITER - older man - a nimble and wily old servant who gleefully takes advantage of the situation
A BODY - a nondescript middle-aged man - needs a great physical actor as he spends a lot of the play unconscious whilst being manoeuvred by other characters
RONNIE - 20s Jane’s Husband, an angry young man and earnestly in love with his wife
PAMELA - 30s Richard’s wife, an attractive sophisticated woman
GLADYS - George’s Mother’s Nurse, a bossy but attractive woman in love with George
THE MAID - small role, an Italian woman in her fifties
