AUDITIONS PRONOUN SPY spring showcase
Advertisement
We have two more audition dates for our Saddleworth Players Youth Spring production of the 2026-27 Season - Monday 21st and 28th September 730pm -9pm in Delph Library at Millgate Arts Centre Pronoun by Evan Placey & directed by Rebecca Wood
We are looking for actors male and female aged 15-19 years old and if you are interested in being part of the crew let us know or come along to the audition as well .
This play was written as part of the National Theatre project, where they invite ten writers to create new plays for young people to perform.
In this play, Pronoun, we meet childhood sweethearts Josh and Isabella, who were meant to spend their gap year and the rest of their lives together. But, Isabella (now known as Dean) has now undergone gender transition. However, the play is not just about exploring transgender issues… it challenges our very perception of gender as a whole.
Evan Placey’s writing compassionately and sensitively explores the impact of Dean’s decision on friends and family, ensuring no one’s feelings are pushed aside, whilst remaining squarely focused on Dean and what his journey is putting him through. We see people around Dean trying to be supportive, but struggling with their own understanding of this new situation they have no choice but to face. And we see Dean, raging quietly from within. In Dean’s words “Tolerance isn’t good enough”.
This coming-of-age story is sad, painful, and at times beautiful, but always real, with believable conflict, endearing characters, heartwarming moments, and just the right amount of comedy, and Placey’s keen understanding of humanity is clearly demonstrated in this moving, not to be missed, play. A beautiful story of confusion, expectations, disappointments but, above all, loyalty.
**TRIGGER WARNING** – Gender identity, Gender Dysphoria .
