Teacher by day, DJ by night - DJ Danny returns to spin some Xmassive tunes in a bid to escape the classroom and become a superstar DJ. Featuring Danny's trusty sidekick Mr Walker, Head of Music and RE. You'll be laughing and shaking your booty...
"A positively adorable creation... I suspect you'd have to be clinically dead not to have a good time with Danny." Kate Copstick, The Scotsman. "The cult of the superstar DJ is ripe for sending up and nobody does it better than Danny Robins." Bruce Dessau, The Evening Standard. "Hilarious... has the potential to gather a sizeable cult following." Chortle.

Mercury Fur :: Audition NoticeOctober 29th, 2009 by admin | Share |
Mercury Fur - by Philip Ridley
Produced by theatredelicatessen
Directed by Frances Loy
Designed by William Reynolds Theatredelicatessen are producing the first major London revival of Philip Ridley's infamous play of 2005, MERCURY FUR. A story that invites controversary, intense emotional responses and assaults the sense of the audience while requiring their full powers of imagination, it asks us how far we will we go for the people we love. Set in a post-apocalyptic East London, a party is being prepared, edible butterflies create the most violent hallucinations, creating a nihilistic escape from a tortured world.
Audition Notice
1st Round Auditions 22nd November (10am-6pm), 23rd & 24th November (7-11pm)Recall workshop auditions w/e 28th/29th November Rehearsals from w/c 14th December
Rehearsals 2-3 evenings and 1 weekend day a week Performances 2nd February - 6th March 2010 All auditions, rehearsals and performaces held at Cavendish Gate, 295 Regent Street For more imformation about the company please visit www.theatredelicatessen.co.uk Please submit cv's and headshots to casting@theatredelicatessen.co.uk
Casting Breakdown
Elliot - 19, male. Incredibly well read and intelligent, acts as a father to his younger brother Darren. Spinx's right hand man but the one most trusted by everyone in the group. Inner strength, fierce loyalty and sense of protecting those around him Darren - 16, male, Elliot's brother. Immature for his age, probably due to being so looked after by Elliot. Often unsure of himself but confidence that shines through when encouraged. A gentleness reflected in his mother's manner. Naz - young-looking 15, asian male. Cocky and self-assured, he's been taking care of himself for a long time. Street wise and with an ability to ingratiate himself into situations. Spinx - 21, male. Essentially the leader of the group, he organises and orders. Has no issue with showing his strength and authority through violence but has moments of absolute gentleness with the Duchess. Lola - 19, male, Spinx's brother. Wearing a sequinned dress, stilettos and denim jacket, he should be naturally very feminine, elegantly so, not camp or kitsch or affected "gay". Delicate and vulnerable with inner strength, he is in a deeply emotional relationship with Elliot. Duchess - 38, female, Elliot and Darren's mother. She is blind and unaware of who her sons are. She is taken care of by Spinx and juxtaposes a real frailty against pure violent emotions. A very strong actress needed to carry off an emotional role, able to perform uncontrolable fits. Everything about her seems fragile and damaged. Party Piece - 10, asian male. A child captured for the depraved fantasies of the Party Guest. An older actor is needed for this part but must look substantially younger than the other characters. The symbol for horrific ways the group struggle to survive Party Guest - 23, white male. Works in the "City", lives in almost another world from the group. Completely over-excited about the oncoming party, someone who has probably got where he has thanks to nepotism as opposed to any kind of talent or hard wokr on his on behalf.Posted in Auditions, News, Pre-production | No Comments »
