Script now available publicly

I've uploaded the script again as some people were having trouble accessing it. There's no security on it so I'll take it down at some point during production.

Cast Update 2 - Character List

To help you prepare for the auditions, I've prepared some character descriptions and suggestions of how they might be played. You may have ideas about how to create the character, so please bring as many ideas as you can to the auditions and to the rehearsals - the more ideas the merrier.

Once again, this is in the form of a 'cast update' - there will be many, many more as people will testify who have done shows with me in the past!

I'm trying to save paper, so if you can possibly get away without printing them, that'd be great.

Information for potential cast members

This is information I gave out during Interludes so it's just in case anyone wasn't there!

Cast Update 1 - Audition Piece List

Something new as I haven't got a clue what most of you are capable of when it comes to Panto - Auditions.

Now, don't be scared... Okay, scratch that, you're already showing signs of fear. These won't be hugely stressful. We aren't requiring you to learn anything and we certainly won't expect finished performances.

What we really want to see is how well you can put over a character - the way they stand, talk and move. There will be a singing audition, but we are going to have one song for the ladies (Only You - the Flying Pickets version, not Starlight Express) and one song for the men (Yo Ho A Pirates Life For Me).

I've uploaded the list of audition pieces, so please feel free to download and have a scan through the script.
