CAVITY NEEDS A CAST!

Cavity is a fierce, unapologetic retelling of Macbeth—where female defiance, family tyranny, and the fight for freedom collide in a decaying Southern town. Fed up with narrow roles for people of colour and women, I wrote Cavity to break molds. Joan isn’t docile or palatable. She’s furious, complex, and fighting back. This is a story of ambition, betrayal, and survival, where the stakes are personal and the power struggles cut deep. We’re bringing this reckoning to the Corpus Playroom and want YOU in it. If you crave raw, demanding roles: full of vulnerability, rage, and truth—audition. Let’s tell this story together. The cast is small with only six characters - Joan, Beau, Catherine, Dolly, Rain, and Billy- but each is unique with their own tale of heartbreak.

ROLES TO AUDITION FOR:

JOAN – A scarred but unbroken young woman, hardened by her father’s tyranny yet fiercely protective of her sister. Her rage is sharp, her will unyielding.
BEAU – A charismatic yet cruel self-proclaimed prophet, wielding scripture like a weapon. A wounded man turned wounder, radiating terrifying power.
CATHERINE – A woman seething with repressed rage, her maternal anguish twisted into venom. A Southern Gothic force of bitterness and betrayal.
DOLLY – The play’s tender yet resilient heart. Her quiet wisdom and kindness defy the darkness around her, making her both fragile and fierce.

RAIN – A tragic avenger with weary resolve. His mission to kill Beau is delivered not with rage, but with fatalistic calm. A haunting presence.
BILLY – A desperate believer clinging to false hope. His journey from doubt to devotion reveals the seductive danger of fanaticism.
