Theater Casting Call for "The Last Wife" Play

Oshawa, ON, Canada
ID: 287078Exp: 7/14/2025
Description:

Looking for performers for "The Last Wife" play. Please, see the details below. About the play: “Reinstate their succession.” A contemporary retelling of the compelling relationship between Katherine Parr and Henry VIII, The Last Wife is a funny, powerful examination of patriarchy, sexual politics, and women’s rights. Kate Parr is smart, confident, and passionate: a rising star in a world of intense competition. But her obligatory marriage to Henry is rife with the threat of violence and the lure of deceit; her secret liaisons with Thom, her husband’s former brother-in-law, could send her to an early grave; and her devotion to the education and equal rights of Henry’s daughters is putting an even bigger strain on her marriage. Does Kate risk her life to gain authority in both her relationship and her political career? Which love will she be led to if she follows her heart? And what kind of future is there for her children if she makes a crucial mistake? Additional information: Performances will be November 7, 8, 12, 13, 14 at 7:30 p.m. and November 9 and 15 at 2 p.m. There is plenty of free evening and weekend parking. Auditions are public readings using the script; no monologues or bookings required. No fees and no experience necessary, but you should read the script to determine your interest and suitability.
