Auditions for The Cottage
Sunset Players is holding auditions for THE COTTAGE, a comedy by Sandy Ruskin and directed by Dennis Murphy on January 12 and 13 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at the Arts Center at Dunham, 1945 Dunham Way, Cincinnati, OH 45238.
Set in 1920s England, THE COTTAGE is a modern twist on a Noël Coward-style farce. The comedy revolves around romantic entanglements resulting from a woman mistakenly inviting her lover’s wife and her own husband to come to the site of their affair which is a lovely country cottage. Everything descends into chaos when the lover’s girlfriend shows up followed by her jealous husband who may or may not want to kill someone. THE COTTAGE had a notable Broadway run in 2023.
The play calls for three women and three men, stage age 25 - 45. A RP British dialect is essential for most of the characters. Two characters may use a working class or cockney accent.
The auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Sign up for an audition slot at Sign Up Genius.
Character Descriptions
Sylvia – a lovely and rash romantic
Beau – witty, quite happy with the status-quo, whatever the status quo may be
Marjorie – Beau’s wife, 8 months pregnant, pragmatic and a tad spicy
Clarke – Beau’s younger brother and Sylvia’s husband; distinguished, but a bit stodgy
Dierdre – an awfully pretty, sometimes wise, nincompoop.
Richard – at first-glance murderous, but is actually a gentle soul
THE COTTAGE will run May 22 – 30 at the Arts Center at Dunham.
