AUDITION NOTICE 

Antony and Cleopatra  

Wellington’s Summer Shakespeare 2013 presents the passion and power of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra – directed by Alison Walls.  

This production will embrace the exoticism and glamour of one of history’s most famous – and infamous – women and her Roman lover. Deceit, politics, lust and love interweave in a world evocative of 1950s Hollywood, where the personalities are big, the emotions forceful, and the stakes run high. 

AUDITIONS:  

13th and 14th October 2012  

225 Aro Street, Aro Valley, Wellington  

PERFORMANCE DATES:  

Antony and Cleopatra will play at the Dell in the Wellington Botanic Gardens from Friday

15th February to Saturday 2nd March 2013.

REHEARSAL DATES:

November – February with plenty of time off over Christmas and New Year.

We’re looking for adventurous actors with strong vocal ability and a passion for Shakespeare.

Musical ability is definitely a bonus!

Please prepare a monologue from the play and either a contrasting monologue (from any play, any era, any genre), a song, or other remarkable talent!

We are also looking for designers and technical crew, so get in touch if you’re interested.
