AUDITION PROCESS

​

If you wish to be involved but cannot attend the audition, please contact Mark Greenall at: shrew2020@gmail.com

 

Production/Casting Notes:

​

Please note that the parts of Petruchio and Kate have been pre-cast.

​

All other parts are available.  Gender-swapping will be considered (e.g. for roles such as the Lord in the Induction and Lucentio's servant Biondello).

​

It would be helpful if, ahead of the audition, you contacted Mark Greenall at shrew2020@gmail.com, if you know for which parts you would be interested in reading, although this is just for awareness. 

 

Audition day:
 

It will be a relaxed and informal morning, looking at a few scenes.  There will be a breakout area for when you are not involved in a particular section.

​

Various scenes will be read, and the following will definitely be looked at:

1.1 - Arrival of Lucentio and the suitors bothering Baptista, Kate and Bianca

3.1 - The Latin and Music Lesson

5.1 - The Pedant et al versus Vincentio
