BTC will hold auditions for ‘God of Carnage’ by Yasmina Reza on Sunday 29 June between 2 and 5 PM and Monday 30 June between 7 and 9 PM.
Synopsis of the play
Two couples meet to discuss the fight between their two sons that led to one of them being hurt. They start a friendly discussion which becomes increasingly childish and combative and reveals the cracks in their lives and relationships. And whatever happened to the hamster?
Roles
We are looking for four actors for the roles of:
ALAN & ANNETTE RALEIGH
Annette, a woman of wealth management, and Alan, a lawyer, represent a seemingly upper-class, well-mannered couple. However, their veneer of civility cracks under pressure, revealing their true personalities as they become increasingly agitated and hostile. Alan cares more about his mobile phone, and seems accepting of violence and sexism. Annette’s marriage has eroded her self-confidence. She is the nervous type and in the play vomits on stage.
MICHAEL & VERONICA NOVAK
Veronica, a writer, and Michael, a wholesaler, also present themselves as a polished, educated couple. But as the conversation escalates, their carefully constructed personas start to break down, revealing their own insecurities and anxieties. Veronica aims for harmony and seeks justice, yet is also quick to judge and seeks escape in the bottle. Michael seems magnanimous, but it may just be that he cares for little in life other than himself.
