Seeking:
THOMAS. Male, 30-something. A hot “up and coming” writer-director with a great respect for art and literature. Intellectual and entitled, he expects others to live up to the high standards he has set for himself and his work. He handsome, tortured and virile -- and is easily brought into the world of his play by his sexual drive. Willing to grovel and worship the character’s idea of femininity, and is both excited and terrified of it at the same time. Must have the acting chops to handle the character in the play he is directing (a 19th century Austrian aristocrat obsessed with his maid). (Hugh Dancy on Broadway)
VANDA. Female, mid-20s. An actress. Seemingly ditzy and flighty, but she is actually fiercely intelligent in an instinctive way. A manipulator who stunningly transforms in and out of her roles of “desperate actor trying to get the job” and worshipped goddess. She is highly charismatic and sexual. Eventually she takes on the dominant position of the character she is auditioning for. She is funny, sexy and scary all at the same time. Able to switch from quirky girl to seductive woman in the blink of an eye. (Nina Arianda on Broadway)
