Auditions open for Shakespeare production “Bard to the Bone"

Auditions start for our new Shakespeare production “Bard to the Bone.” We are staging a show around WS’ two long-form poems “Venus and Adonis” and “The Rape of Lucrece.” In addition we fill out the evening with an assortment of sonnets, play clips, and the work of other poets contemporaneous to WS.

PLEASE COME BY AT 7PM, THURSDAY DECEMBER 17 TO THE ADDRESS BELOW. (Or contact us for alternate dates.)

Prepare a monologue from Shakespeare and be ready to cold read.

These works were not written to be read as dialogue and they are extremely sexual so we need actors who can bring the text to life and who are not shy -- skin may be exposed in this production.

Casting for six players:

Three Females:

Venus is older than Adonis, voluptuous, hyper-sexed, beautiful, and the goddess of love. She tries her best to seduce the boy but fails.

Lucrece is younger than Tarquin. She is in bed when he attacks her, very little clothing for him to rip when he forces the deed upon her.

Female Reader does narration voice and various roles in the shorter clips.

Three Males:

Adonis is younger than Venus, beautiful, traditionally masculine, highly disciplined and will not allow Venus to work her wiles on him.

Tarquin is older than Lucrece, gruff, violent, strong, given over to his baser impulses but still articulate.

Male Reader does narration voice and various roles in the shorter clips.

IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT THURSDAY CALL US FOR OTHER AVAILABLE AUDITION DATES.
