Rehearsals/Performances at Aliso Niguel High School

Roles:

The Man:

Richard Hannay: about forty (give or take a decade), a quick witted, dapper, English gentleman who is living an unfulfilled in life. Upon meeting the secret agent Annabella, Richard has to go on the run and finds himself involved in a plot that could save his whole country.

The Women (to be played by 1-3 women):

Annabella Schmidt: An exotic secret agent, Annabella Schmidt is in dire need of Hannay’s help. (german accent)

Pamela: A beautiful woman, Pamela is lured into Hannay’s adventure but is skeptical of his claims of innocence. (British accent)

Margaret: the farmer’s wife, Margaret is a shy young woman who dreams of life and adventure in the city. (scottish accent)

The Rest: (2-10 actors to play dozens more characters)

Any gender – heroes, villains, men, women, and even the occasional inanimate object – auditions for these parts will include significant physicality and improvisational work. Bring your best (or worst) accents to show off -- Scottish, British, Bond Villain, indeterminate but clearly foreign, etc.)

Actors playing all roles will have significant stage time as living stage scenery, sound and visual effects, in addition to roles both scripted and unscripted.

The following sides will be used in the audition. Actors will asked to choose one character to present. Actors will then be asked to try this or other sides in various ways, improvisationally.

Please note the accents that are important for this show, primarily British and Scottish. A short how to on the Scottish accent is provided here for your assistance -- feel free to go full Mike Myers!
