10 roles
The uptight director of the Society who has cast himself in the show's most coveted role. Deeply committed to his art and everything going smoothly – his pain is evident when something goes wrong and every time someone laughs the pain becomes worse. Has utter disdain for the audience and takes his frustration out on them and the rest of the cast. Rigid, high-status clown.
Robert likes to think he is a leading man, although he may not entirely resemble one. He truly believes that he can act his way out of every predicament. Committed to the play 100%. This is not a parody of bad acting, it's just that Robert is unaware of those around him. Single-minded and bombastic. Auguste clown.
A robust professional who, despite his best efforts, fruitlessly tries to keep the production together. A strong and authoritative storyteller.
Ambitious, flirtatious with a huge ego. Believing herself the quintessential leading lady, she tries to steal the scene at every turn that leads her to constantly overact.
Wretched, low status and terrified of being in a play. The sole reason he joined the Society was to make friends, but this has back-fired somewhat. Not a good actor at all but imbues everything with a painful truth. The laughter from the audience is agony for him. Naive clown.
After an unexpected taste of the spotlight, Annie is deeply committed to each of her many roles but finds herself biting off more than she can chew.
Only cast because his uncle put up the money. Devoid of any theatrical talent but longs for the spotlight. Earnest, sincere and sweet, audience connection is vital for this role. Naïve honest clown.
The company’s stage manager. Doesn't like actors, certainly doesn't want to be one. Must be very confident physically as stunt work and flight required. North American Accent.
Handsome ‘hero’ of the play. Jonathan joined the Society for a laugh. Strong physicality and being a really good mover is needed for the role. Must be very confident physically as stunt work and flight required.
Robert’s niece in the company. She suffers from stage fright and is terrified by the whole experience of performing, however finds her voice and confidence at the end. Timid, naive and vulnerable clown.
