Actors needed for rehearsed reading of The Tragedy of Gorboduc!

We are looking for thirteen actors to join us in Trinity Hall Chapel for a rehearsed reading of The Tragedy of Gorboduc (The first English tragedy written in blank verse!)

Full pack can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gBTDZRjzzUZImo_ktS8EAnhHJxRdoUbkZIgiE9r3qMI/edit?usp=sharing

Synopsis:
An aeging king divides his kingdom between two sons, and his realm falls apart. One brother kills the other, a mother takes revenge on her own child and the people rise against the crown. Britain is without an heir and civil war looms…

As a rehearsed reading this will be a very low-commitment project which will involve one or two rehearsals prior to the event itself on (5-7 on Tuesday 24th November @ Trinity Hall Chapel). Scripts will be used on stage (so no need to learn lines by heart!!).

If you want to get involved with this project please email tg534@cam.ac.uk with your name, and role preference (you can find a list of roles below) - given the tight turnaround on this we will not be hosting formal auditions, but rather operating on a first-come-first-serve basis!! We want this to be a project everyone feels they can get involved with no matter their experience level!
