ACTOR CASTING CALL

Dirty Protest Theatre presents.....’After the End’ by Dennis Kelly

Actors : Call out for casting submissions

AFTER THE END by Dennis Kelly, directed by Mared Swain
Rehearsals: 18th of June- 11th July in Cardiff
Perform: 11th-14th of July, Theatre 2, Sherman Cymru

After the End is a thrilling two-hander by Olivier Award-winning writer Dennis Kelly. A nuclear attack drives Mark and his work colleague down to Mark's old bomb shelter in his flat. The play explores the complexity of a relationship between the two as they struggle to survive. This will be the play's premiere in Wales, and Dirty Protest's first full production.

We are looking for two actors, 1 Male, 1 Female for the following characters:

Mark
Male 25-35
Ethnicity - Any
A bit of a loner, Mark is an opinionated, often misunderstood wannabe hero. He is longing for love, but lacks the social confidence and know how to achieve this. He likes to be in control of his situation.

Louise
Female 25-35
Ethnicity - Any
Popular, fun loving and ambitious, Louise is caring, friendly and tries to see the good in others. Her morals and beliefs are central to her drive to succeed in life.

Please make your submissions via email to casting@dirtyprotesttheatre.co.uk. Deadline for entries is Tuesday the 8th of May. We look forward to receiving them.

Please note, actors must be available for the duration of the project, and must be based in, or have a base in Cardiff.

This project is supported by the Arts Council of Wales.

We're all gearing up for our new Christmas show - it's going to be office party themed and will be hitting City Road on December 1. 

 

It's also great news that we can welcome some more people into the Dirty Protest fold. The last performance was the first with the talented Matthew Bulgo as one of our core producer/director/Dirty P-er.

 

Now we have managed to up our talent when it comes to the design and set management team with the addition of Bethan Dawson and Poppy Armitage both RWCMD students and we're really looking forward to working with them

It's 2011 and the smell of scandal is in the air.  A 24 hour news cycle is obsessed with the underhand and the corrupt. The tabloids, the politicians, the police, the private investigators - but who is writing the plays about it?  Well, Dirty Protest will be this summer. Celebrating its fourth birthday the Welsh theatre company returns with a night of new plays all dedicated to Scandal. We have five established writers and one cherrypopper on board to write six new short plays and give their own take on the topic of scandal. What they chose to write about and the angle they chose to take, well that's just up to them. Two performances planned for Milgi's Yurt, Cardiff on Thursday August 18. Writers included Foster Marks Lisa Parry Aled Roberts Sian Owen Katherine Chandler Cherrypopper - TO BE ANNOUNCED There will be TWO chances to see this night only.  7.30pm 9pm Tickets to be purchased at Milgi from 6pm on the night  £3

Looking for something to do this Friday, come see some new work from three companies including Dirty Protest

We're really excited to be taking part of the Wales Millennium Centre's Incubator project this Friday night at 8pm

We've been working with the amazing writer Colette Kane and are developing a full length play of hers titled, I know how I feel about Eve.
...If you came to our last Roundhouse, London and CAI night, you will have seen a shorter version of the play, which Colette has since began to develop as a full piece.
The performance follows a couple as they come to terms their grief as they go through the process of cloning their lost child.

Starring: Eiry Hughes, Gareth Pierce and Alys Thomas

We'd love you all to come along and give us some feedback/your comments to help steer us all with the next stage of development....all dirty ideas are very welcome

PLUS you don't just get us you will also see two more pieces of work from Nick Janaway and Laura Moy and also Ben Partridge.

There's loads more info on the WMC website http://www.wmc.org.uk/index.cfm?alias=incubator2010

Tickets are £6 and we'd love to see you there
