Seeking performers for production of "I’ll be Back Before Midnight". See the details below. About the play: Jan and Greg rent an isolated farmhouse for a quiet holiday, but when they arrive they are told of a terrible murder that happened there. None of the characters turn out to be what they seem, all are playing roles within roles of one type or another. The big question is: Who will win in the end? Additional information: The show will run November 19 to December 6, 2026. Rehearsals will take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Call backs will be held September 13 (from noon onward). Auditions are open and will be cold readings from the script.

4 roles

Jan SandersonMale20-49 y.o.All ethnicities

On the surface, she appears to be a highly sensitive and vulnerable woman who is recovering from a severe nervous breakdown. Outwardly positive, she is inwardly terrified of relapsing. She is isolated and forced to navigate horrifying events while questioning her own sanity. As the play unfolds, she proves to be much stronger than she ever realized was possible.

Greg SandersonMale20-49 y.o.All ethnicities

He seems to be a caring husband for Jan, and yet he proves to be a somewhat detached and insensitive man. He is passionate about his work as an archaeologist, and it later becomes apparent that he has a suspiciously loving relationship with his sister Laura.

Laura SandersonFemale20-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Although she is introduced as Greg’s sister, her behaviour towards him is anything but sisterly. She is a cool, confident, and highly manipulative businesswoman. Her arrival severely strains the couple’s relationship, and she appears to have dark motives involving Jan and her brother.

George WillowbyMale60-96 y.o.All ethnicities

At first, he seems to be simply a loveable but eccentric local farmer who rents the farmhouse to the couple. He acts as comic relief but also thoroughly enjoys spinning gruesome, terrifying ghost stories about the property. Could there also be some ulterior motives underneath his jolly exterior?
