2 roles

Dr. PolidoriBoth genders20-24 y.o.All ethnicities

Actors who can disappear into a patriarchal heterosexual male role. Hot-tempered, Italian ancestry and overly proud of it, and chasing fame through his association with Byron… though Polidori decidedly lacks the ‘it factor’. His writing talent is middling but his twisted imagination knows few bounds. He has a sprained ankle and it’s all Lord Byron’s fault.

Character understudyMale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

For Polidori, Lordy Byron, Percy Shelley. Will have guaranteed understudy performance.
