Brighton Fringe Auditions: Hedda Gabler
For Brighton Fringe 2012, SUDS are taking a boisterously decadent and bleakly comic production of Henrik Ibsen’s ‘Hedda Gabler’. Set in a decaying drawing room splitting at the seams, this production will be staged at The Old Courtroom Theatre in the heart of Fringe territory, and will be our chance to show public audiences the depth and range of our talent and creativity.
Auditions for the play: Wednesday 25th January, from 11am-6pm.
Location: Falmer Common Room, first floor of Falmer House
Recalls: During the day on Friday 27th January.
Before you audition you must be aware of these key points:
1.The performances will take place 10th-13th May during the evening.
2.Anyone is welcome, even if you have never acted before, not even as a tree in your first-school Nativity play.
3.Old and new SUDS members, and those thinking of joining SUDS, are given equal opportunity to audition.
4.You do not need to prepare anything for the audition.
5.If you are successful, you will be expected to commit fully. This includes be able to rehearse throughout Easter and being completely willing to take part in various flyering and publicity exercises come the Fringe.
Rehearsals will take place over the course of a few months. The breakdown (subject to alter slightly) is as follows:
a.January-March: character work. Some script work but focus is on forming strong characters and smashing existing preconceptions about the play
b.Easter Holidays – move on to script work, rehearsing scenes in thorough detail
c.After Easter-early May – run-throughs and polishing. We are bringing this production to a professional standard.
It’s an excellent opportunity to perform at one of the world’s most exciting theatre festival!
