Playing Dates 7th-12th April 2025. Rehearsals start with a readthrough on 27th January.
Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college – a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Can Sidney take advantage of this inexperienced writer? Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer to collaborate with the student for co-credit. Or is it?
Two-thirds thriller and one-third a devilishly clever comedy.
I would like to keep to the American characters and places, but if East Coast US accents are too difficult, I will relocate the scene to somewhere in rural England.
Characters and playing ages are:
Sidney Bruhl 50s An impressive and well-tended confident and devious man desperate to recover from the recent failures.
Myra Bruhl, Sidney’s wife, late 40s, slim and self-effacing, who has funded Sidney’s dry period from her fortune.
Clifford Anderson 20-30 An attractive young man, tall and slim if possible.
Helga Ten Dorp A stocky, strong-jawed Teutonic woman in her early fifties, a successful psychic.
Porter Milgrim, mid 50s, A solicitor who is also a friend of Sydney’s. A man of substance.
If you would like to borrow a script before the auditions, you can get one from Owen Brooks in the Theatre Office Mon-Sat 9.30 -12.30. If you want to find out more about the play you can contact Sarah Clarke, the Director on 07804 171105 or email [email protected]
The auditions are open to anyone but if you are cast in the play or get involved in any way in the production you will be asked to become a member of the Market Harborough Drama Society.
