Cast:
Milli Milroy: – 29 years old, brittle schoolmarm exterior hides a broken hearted romantic. In appearance, should be slim, dark haired and a “Wallis Simpson” type. Will also play “Old Milli” (82 years old and grumpy) at beginning and end of play
Edward VIII (Duke of Windsor): – 24 years old, upper crust British accent mandatory. Underneath the stiff upper lip is a charming, boyish romantic. Will also play a desperate journalist at the beginning of the play (without British accent).
Sir Thomas Godfrey: – 50 – upper crust “handler” of Edward. Upper crust British accent mandatory. Underneath his professional deference is a paternal love for his charge.
Mrs. Milroy: – 50 – Milli’s widowed mother. Heart of gold, but flighty and loveably ridiculous.
Desdemona Singleton: – 30 – Canadian actress. Sexy, outrageous and supremely confident.
Please prepare a short (2 minutes) contemporary dramatic monologue, except for Mrs. Milroy whose monologue should be a contemporary comic one. You should be prepared to read from the play. Please bring a résumé and headshot – a photocopy will do. You should read the play before auditioning. The script is on reserve at the Performing Arts Desk, 5th floor, Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street.
Please call Patricia at 416-762-4364 for an appointment
