Description:

Seeking cast for "The Ladies Of The Camellias" show. Please see the details below. About the project: A love letter to fin de siècle theatre, The Ladies of the Camellias is both comically farcical and poignant in its presentation. In 1897, two different actresses, Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse, were both to perform The Lady of the Camellia in Paris in the same week and at the same theater. Alexandre Dumas, fils, the French author who wrote the play, has particular complaints about both of their performances. Their respective co-stars, Gustave-Hippolite Worms and Flavio Ando, are caught in the actresses' melodrama and competition. However, a Russian anarchist named Ivan decides to take the two actresses hostage and threatens to blow up the theater if two of his comrades are not released from prison. Can Cyrano de Bergerac save the day? Additional info: Performances January 9th to 19th, 2025. If you are interested, please apply.
