Production/Casting Notes:

The role of Richard II has been pre-cast.  

​

There are 29 named male characters and 5 female characters.

​

The play will be cut substantially. Running time should be 2.5 hours (including interval).

​

If there is a particular role you wish to be considered for, it would be helpful to know this beforehand.

​

Audition day:
 

When you arrive, please enter via the front entrance of the school (on Church Hill) where there will be approximately 15 parking spaces for our use.  If you arrive and there are no spaces left, you can use the rear car park but you will need to speak to the caretaker in the front office reception in order for the car park gates to be opened and to request access . 
Please aim to arrive by 9.45am. There should be arrows directing you to the audition room, but there will also be members of the Greek Theatre Players on hand to direct.

You will be given a lanyard on arrival which you must wear as a form of identification. There will also be a register as visitors must sign in and out.

​

The play has been cut by over 400 lines and a dozen or so edited copies will be available at the reading.  We will be using the Wordsworth Classics version.

​

The audition should be an informal and informative process.
