Fragments of Ash

(Stage/tour)

Notional Theatre is looking for a company of wonderfully talented South Wales-based actors who are comfortable with both physical and narrative storytelling for the tour of Fragments of Ash. The play, described as “spine-tingling and intense” (Three Weeks) was first produced, to universally excellent reviews, at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe. This tour is supported by the Arts Council of Wales.

A company wage reflects the ensemble nature of the piece. Fee-based contract formed on Equity agreements. Accommodation when away from base and per diems as appropriate. A seven week commitment from April 16^th to June 2^nd.

The small-scale nature of the tour will mean that all cast and crew work together on get-ins and get-outs.

An ‘ordinary’ British military wife and mother. A challenging central role in an emotional drama.

Ken – 40ish. A really likeable bloke. Must be a versatile actor – some doubling and choreographed movement will be involved.

Rashida – mid-30s, down to mid-teens.

An Afghan woman who exists in the imagination of Eleanor. This role is almost entirely danced; great acting skills required.
