CAMBRIDGE:
Adaptation means taking the most
important scenes of King Lear and
doing them in Shakespeare's language. We will be using as text
the way Shakespeare wrote it as printed in the book `No Fear
Shakespeare-King Lear'. On each opposite page in this book is a
contemporary language translation of Shakespeare's text. Because
that now exists there can be no difficulty in understanding
Shakespeare's text, for the actors playing the different roles.
We will be casting for male actors ages 25-50, the roles are The
Duke of Albany: the husband of Lear's daughter Goneril. Although
Albany allows Goneril, Regan, and Cornwall to abuse their power,
Albany himself is good at heart, eventually denouncing and
opposing their cruelty and treachery. Yet Albany is indecisive
and lacks foresight, not realizing the evil of his allies until
quite late in the play. Edgar 25-35 yrs old the oldest
legitimate son of Gloucester. Edgar plays many different roles,
starting out as a gullible fool easily tricked by his brother,
then assuming a disguise as a mad beggar to evade his father's
men, then carrying his impersonation further to aid Lear and
Gloucester, and finally appearing as an armored champion to
avenge his brother's treason. Edger's propensity for disguises
and impersonations makes him a complex and at times puzzling
character. A great dramatic character to play. Male or female
actors ages 25-50, the roles are the narrator and second fool.
There will also be parts for understudies and supporting roles
in the play. Since we will be doing some of the key scenes but
not every scene in the play the plot and development of the
characters will be explained dramatically to the audience by a
series of linking narrations done by the characters in the play.
There will be also back projections and front projections of
film clips and still slides that will connect the King Lear
story to personal and global contemporary meanings. This project
could become a landmark, creative achievement in making
Shakespeare's King Lear extremely relevant to the audiences of
today. It's about love not war or power grabs. It will take for
those who become involved an extended rehearsal time of about 12
weeks plus. Basic rehearsing will take place in The Advanced
Acting Classes-at the Cambridge Center. Cost for the
Advanced Acting Class is $214. Where else can you take class
learning about Shakespeare and get to act it out! Our first
performance will be at CCAE Friday June 11th, Saturday June 12th
and Sunday 13th. If all goes well with this project it could be
performed elsewhere for longer runs and larger audiences in
other venues. It could also become a film project as well as a
play. Rehearsals will be three times a week, Friday
7-10pm, Saturday 2-5pm and Sunday 2-5pm. This project is to be
understood as more then a usual class project, it will be done
on a professional level. It will be done as a Diversity Theater
production. Please if at all interested contact me now~Stan
Edelson (781) 648-6000 or (781) 405-3408 or e-mail
sedelson2@verizon.net.
Also needing tech director-who is familiar with use of multiple
slide projectors on backdrop surfaces and an assistant to the
director who could also play a minor role in the project.

MANSFIELD: Un-Common is delighted
to announce the first of it's auditions for this year's summer
shows. "Romeo and Juliet"
will be directed by Un-Common Alumni and Hofstra University
Junior, Keith Pinault of Mansfield. Likely written early
in his career, "Romeo and Juliet" is one of Shakespeare's most
well-known tragedies. The now-famous plot, concerning two young
"star-crossed lovers" torn apart by their feuding families, has
become a fixture of popular culture. The Montagues and Capulets
have been mortal enemies for as long as anyone can remember, and
violence still plagues the divided city they both call home.
during an uneasy peace, the unthinkable happens: a Montague,
Romeo falls for a Capulet, Juliet, and the two conspire to make
a life for themselves, but the culture of hate that surrounds
them is impossible to escape. Using the backdrop of modern-day
Belfast, a city whose old wounds still keep it deeply divided,
this production seeks to bring out the youth and beauty of the
play while making it relevant to a contemporary audience.
Rehearsals will be held in Foxboro & Mansfield, Ma starting in
late May, 2010 and the show will be performed at The Orpheum
Theatre, Foxboro, Ma from June 24 - 27, 2010. Auditions
will be held by appointment only on Wednesday
March 31st
from 6pm iwith callbacks on Thursday April 1st at 6pm. If you
are physically unable to attend the auditions please contact us
by email or phone for information on presenting a video
audition. Auditioners should be between ages 16 - 21 and should
prepare a 1-2 minute dramatic monologue. Shakespeare (or any
other classical text) is highly recommended. To make an audition
appointment, or for information on a video audition, please
contact Chris Lowey at email
uncommontheatre@verizon.net or call (508)698-3098 leaving
your name, age, grade or year in college, phone number and email
address. We will get back to you with an audition time and more
details.
