Little Theatre to hold auditions for Agatha Christie play
Woy Woy Little Theatre will hold auditions for Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution tomorrow evening, at 7pm Tuesday, January 14.
The auditions will be held at Peninsula Theatre, John Hoare Close, Woy Woy.
The play will be the second for the year, staged from May 9 to May 25, and will be directed by Ms Christine Vale.
The play starts after Leonard Vole is arrested for the murder of Emily French, a wealthy older woman.
Unaware that he was a married man, Miss French made him her principal heir, casting suspicion on Leonard.
When his wife, Romaine, agrees to testify, she does so not in Leonard's defence but as a witness for the prosecution.
Male cast members wanted include the accused Leonard Vole, his solicitor Mr Mayhew, his senior counsel Sir Wilfred Robarts QC, Crown prosecutor Mr Myers QC, judge Mr Justice Wainwright, arresting officer Inspector Hearne and Sir Wilfred's chief clerk Carter.
Female cast members wanted include the accused's wife Romaine Vole who has a European accent, Emily French's housekeeper Janet Mackenzie and Sir Wilfred's typist Greta.
Cast members who may be either male or female include police surgeon Dr Wyatt, New Scotland Yard laboratory assistant Clegg and a clerk of the court.
"The auditions are open," said Ms Vale.
"Everyone is welcome.
"There is no need to book."
