    AUDITIONS are open for 'quickening', a piece of new writing going to the Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Kentish Town as part of the Camden Fringe Festival this August!

    A short synopsis of the play: Quickening is the narrative of three abortions - Lina and Josey find themselves in the same ward in 1972, a few years after the legalisation of abortion in the UK. In 2011, Lina’s daughter Darla faces a similar situation to her mother, putting a strain on their relationship and causing Lina to recall the emotional and social consequences of the abortion she had years before, as she struggles to adapt to Darla’s contemporary politics.

    We are looking for actors to bring this script to life! Find the audition pack below with all necessary details - let us know if you have any questions :)

    Deadline for self-tape submissions: March 9th (email mw941@cam.ac.uk and/or so468@cam.ac.uk with any queries)
