Auditions for the Cambridge Greek Play 2010
Every three years The Cambridge Greek Play takes place at the
Cambridge Arts Theatre; in Autumn 2010 this will be Aeschylus'
Agamemnon.
The production is led by a professional director, designer and
composer and is an exciting opportunity for Cambridge actors to work
with a professional team on an ambitious production.
The production is in Ancient Greek, but it isn't essential to be a
Classicist or read Greek; there is plenty of tutoring, training and
help on hand to help you conquer it!
We are looking for committed, talented actors with a desire to learn
new skills, tackle chorus and movement work and explore a weighty
poetic text. We are looking for strong singers in some roles, though
not all, and we are keen to have some actor/musicians in the ensemble .
There will be an initial exploration period at the end of this term in
9th/10th week; some initial rehearsals to kick the start the project.
The main rehearsal period will take place from 1st September, prior to
the show being at the Arts Theatre in the 1st or 2nd week of
Michaelmas Term. It is essential that you are available to be in
Cambridge from 1st September to rehearse full time for this month.
So if you would like to come and audition:
First round auditions will be on Tuesday 2nd March from 3pm-7pm.
Please prepare a short verse monologue (Shakespeare for example) to
perform from memory. If you are a confident singer, please also bring
something to sing. Don't worry if you are not. To book yourself an
audition time please email Blake Palmer: Palmer311@live.missouristate.edu
