Casting notice for Apprentice Showcase at Theatre Royal Haymarket

Masterclass at the Theatre Royal Haymarket are currently casting for the following showcases:

La Mort: An exploration of the adaptation French romantic literature.
Directed by John Rolph

Inspired by the new Boublil and Schönberg musical, Marguerite, Masterclass presents two exciting projects exploring the adaptation of French literature to be presented on the stage at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.

Showcase 1: Mal d'Amour

Rehearsals: 21st - 25th July, 9am-5pm Performance: 25th July, 1pm

Taking scenes from the plays Les Liasons Dangereuses, La Dame Aux Camelias and Therese Raquin, (all adaptations of French novels) , this first project will explore representations of poisoned romance in French literature, following the characters as they fall foul of humanity's deadliest weakness; love.

Schowcase 2: Monsieur Venus

Rehearsals: 28th July – 1st August, 9am-5pm Performance: 1st August, 1pm

This second project is a brand new adaptation of Rachilde's controversial 1884 novel, Monsieur Venus. Banned when it was first written the novel was later defended as an important work of fiction. "What a wonderful masterpiece...It assures Rachilde a very particular place as an astute talent" Maurice Barrès ,1889.
Rachilde's decadent heroine, Raoule seeks to transcend the limits of sensual experience in a liaison involving the sadomasochistic swapping of genders. Raoule enslaves and emasculates the poor artist Jaques embracing her role as the macho lover about to be betrayed...

This project will be a 45 minute workshop presentation of this exciting new script. I am looking for a company of actors who are prepared to work hard and collaboratively to help to realise this project.

To apply: please send a CV and headshot to:

info@masterclass.org.uk.

Please also state which project you are most interested in, and if you are interested in both. I do intend some cross casting between the two. This is an unpaid position but is an opportunity to invite agents, casting directors etc. to a West End showcase of your work. Auditions will be held on the 5th July at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
