BREAKDOWN

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG

SEEKING:

TREVOR - any ethnicity, 25-45, the play’s lighting and sound operator; he simply wants to get on with the show, curmudgeonly and doesn’t care for actors, easily distracted and does many things he shouldn’t, including engaging with the audience. When things go really sideways, he is forced to act in the play, and he hates acting.

SANDRA - any ethnicity, 25-45, vain with a huge ego; wants to be loved, has ambitions to go to Hollywood and will hurt anyone standing in her way, smart enough to stay on the good side of someone who can help her (like the director), her stakes are very high.

ANNIE - any ethnicity, 25-45, the stage manager, cannot bear to be on stage, but must step in to one of the roles, initially terrified by acting, she grows to love it and by the end is willing to kill for it, the biggest journey of any of the characters; starts small but grows and grows.

JONATHAN - any ethnicity, 25-45, a bit bland, but sees himself as a James Bond type, excited and having fun, but not naïve, cares about the play, but not to the same extent as the others, drives the show; very physical role.

ROBERT - any ethnicity, 25-45, wannabe Richard Burton, declamatory style, an actor with real vocal power, unaware of others around him, does not feel badly when things go wrong and never learns from his mistakes, desperate to become president of the Cornley Poly Drama Society.

MAX - any ethnicity, 25-45, has never been on stage before; knows his lines and does exactly what he’s told, no more, no less, has zero connection with any of the other actors, but when he gets a laugh he breaks the 4th wall and engages with the audience, childlike and naïve; his mistakes are fundamental, doesn't think anything through, just looks for approval.

CHRIS - any ethnicity, 25-45, the director of the show and this is the biggest day of his life, rigid, uptight, self-important, his pain is evident and every time someone laughs the pain deepens, equal amounts of contempt for his fellow actors and the audience, high status clown.

DENNIS - any ethnicity, 25-45, no interest in theatre, he just wants to make friends (of which he has none), slightly oblivious, but understands when he gets things wrong. Laughter from the audience is a personal tragedy and failure for him.
