CASTING
For A New Play Entitled
“BEATEN”


There are three roles. They are siblings. They are very pale, blond and small of stature. The action is not set in a particular time or place. Each play themselves as young children (8-12 years) and teenagers (13-17) and older adults (35-45), they also play other roles within the play i.e. father, mother, priest etc.


Female: the youngest, she is a good-looking girl, a tom-boy, often tough but given to extreme frailty at times. Her movements range from bird-like, speedy to complete stasis. She has long blond hair, which she wears loose and unkempt. She has the mid-range voice of the three.

Male: the middle child, physically sturdy, broad shouldered, but not taller than the others. He has very short blond hair; is very handsome and has the deepest voice of the three; he moves energetically and with confidence, is often volatile, challenging convention and wanting revenge.

Male: the eldest, is the slightest of the three with the lightest voice; he tries to mould himself into whatever space he finds himself. He will do anything to keep the peace. He moves tentatively and awkwardly. His left arm is partially paralysed, he holds up it as if it is in a sling, this limits his physical movement considerably.


Auditions will be held in early April. A Rehearsed Table Reading will take place in mid to late April. Full Production will take place for two weeks in Cork in September with a four-week rehearsal period in August. Equity rates apply.
