Corpsing - an absurd, haunting dark comedy about the politics surrounding family, grief and how death is understood across cultures - is looking for a multi-ethnic, enthusiastic and fun cast!! This week 8 ADC late centres around the deceased (yet talkative) Christina, a young Malaysian woman of mixed heritage, and her bizarre extended family as they try to come to terms with her death. It's a play about cultural differences, about the things left unsaid, and about the uncomfortable humour of dark situations that we can never seem to fully ignore. This play should be loadsa fun, and since it's a week 8 it should be pretty chill commitment-wise. We want anyone and everyone to audition since there are such a wide range of parts to be 'body'-snatched (Charissa's pun). Auditions will be drop-in, location TBC, from 16:00-20:00 on Saturday the 25th Jan, and 13:30-17:00 on Sunday the 26th Jan Extracts will be on the door, (but they're also available to view on this google drive if you want to prepare in advance!! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qCXLcoGlmVTtM2yF-X_JYFTRrfOQVyA_/view?usp=sharing ) CN: Death, grief, profanity - we want to deal with these issues sensitively, and if you have any concerns or questions about this before auditioning, please drop us an email and we'll be happy to discuss it with you!
