Director needed for dark comedy one man show

I’m looking for a Director to help me rehearse a one man show I’m performing at this year’s Cardiff Comedy Festival.

The Show
“Conrad Kordover is a man with strange habits; a loner, living by his own unconventional beliefs. When a murder is committed, it isn’t long before the Police come knocking.”
“What’s the Time, Mr Wolf?” by Vincent Cassar. A darkly comic one man play exploring a society where justice must be done, whatever the price. A piece that is more relevant than ever in our current climate. How much is “Trial by Media” affecting the decisions of our Justice system?

Key Dates
The show is currently booked for 3 nights at Porter’s, Cardiff as part of the Cardiff Comedy Festival. The dates are 14th, 15th & 17th July.
I’m looking to rehearse in the two weeks preceding the 14th, probably in Cardiff, exact dates, times venue to be worked out once Director on board. There’s some flexibility on this, depending on the route taken with Director.

You
The show is an intimate, Character driven piece; perfect for small spaces (plays50 seat venues) It’s both comedic & disturbing with a strong message about prejudice, media & Justice. A Director with a passion & experience of this kind of work & who enjoys working with Writers would be most welcome. Although this is an existing production, we are happy & keen to keep developing the piece & are open to new ideas.

Us
I’ve taken the show on two tours in the last couple of years, garnering great feedback & reviews. The show was previously Directed & Designed with Festivals in mind. In fact, the current set/props & costume all fit into a medium sized suitcase! The future direction of the show is up for discussion. The Writer is actively involved & we’re also looking at options for filming the piece in the near future.

Cold hard cash
I’ve got to get straight in there & say there’s no guaranteed fee. This production currently has no budget. On the plus side that means the money made on tickets will be all profit, which will be shared between us.

Further info
There’s a Facebook page for the show which includes reviews etc:

Intrigued? Send me an email expressing your interest & feel free to ask questions. I’ll send you the script then we can chat in more detail about the project.

Ben
