Casting Equity Actors for Production of "The Dead, 1904"

Equity actors for roles in "The Dead, 1904". See breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: James Joyce’s beloved short story from The Dubliners features a holiday gathering on The Feast of the Epiphany, 1904, in the Dublin home of two elderly sisters, Kate and Julia Morkin. At the party are family and friends, a celebrated tenor, an ardent nationalist, a lost alcoholic, and Gabriel Conroy (nephew of Kate and Julia and his wife Gretta. Over the course of the evening there is music, dancing and dining. The tenor sings a haunting traditional lament – The Lass of Aughrim – and when it is all over Gabriel Conroy will learn something about his wife that changes everything: his idea of her and of himself, his sense of what it actually means to be alive, and to be dead. This unique, immersive script, conceived by author Jean Hanff Korelitz and Pulitzer-prize winning Irish Poet and former New Yorker poetry editor Paul Muldoon, has been adapted to fit the beautiful venue while staying totally true in language and tone to the beloved holiday story. The cast of 12 and a small audience of 55 will move together around a perfectly restored c.1900 mansion, experiencing the party as it would have taken place in 1904 Dublin. All will sit down for a sumptuous Edwardian holiday meal (catered by Great Performances) in the mansion’s dining room.
