Performers Required for "Cat’s Cradle" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Audition Announcement for "Cat's Cradle" by Leslie Sands. Please see the details below. About the project: Set in an old coach house in a remote English village, CAT’S CRADLE concerns an almost forgotten kidnapping, and perhaps murder, which was never solved. As the play begins, the original inspector returns to reopen the investigation. However, his efforts are hindered as it becomes increasingly clear that he is facing a conspiracy of silence from the local townspeople and a past that is shrouded in mystery. The final resolution provides a completely unexpected twist to this compelling psychological mystery thriller.
