Photo Flash: First Look at THE AUDITION at Barons Court Theatre, London
There aren't that many honest plays about theatre. Whatever goes on behind the curtains, backstage, in a rehearsal room, at an audition - is usually a hush-hush no-go zone. We have seen hundreds of carefully edited versions of that on TV thanks to the tear jerking X Factor and the like, but do we know what an actor feels going into that room to face their fears, what the director is really looking for when casting for a play? 'The Audition' is partly the answer to those questions and partly a disturbing theory of what theatre looks like from the inside. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production in the photos below!
