LOAF 2009 Audition Call – ‘Quiz’

March 27, 2009 at 4:20 am

Hey London Theatre people,

I’m currently looking for actors to perform ‘Quiz’ a one act play in this years London One Act Festival. Here’s the breakdown:

Synopsis: ‘Quiz’ tells the story of Quentin, a malcontent, and a minion,

whose job is to find those certain people whose time on this world is up. Travis, one

such unfortunate player, stumbles upon Quentin’s cat and mouse game – an absurd

quiz show – that offers cryptic and ever growing complications which confuse

and bewilder Travis. A simple flip of a coin decides

Travis’s fate, and the winner’s envelope receives another name to add to the

collection. Witty, dry, often absurd, Quiz offers a dark take on the off chance

that anyone, anywhere, might ask you a question, and depending on your answer,

you might find the winner’s circle could be somewhere six feet underground.

I’m currently looking for actor’s to fill 5 roles – 2 major and 3 minor.

Major Characters

---

Travis: Mid to late 20’s   An awkward, kind-hearted person. Prone to misguided citizenship and not clever enough to realize it.

Quentin: Mid to late 30’s (can cast younger or older)  The devilish, coy, and quick tempered quiz show host without much holding him together; save for his ability to hold an audience.  Minor Characters:

Minor Characters

---

Boy: 19-23 A sarcastic, rough edged, patron of the Ipod generation

Adam: (unspecified age)  A fool, scared of his own shadow. Boyfriend to Helen

Helen: (unspecified age) Likes being in control. Barely acknowledges a world outside herself. Girlfriend to Adam.

Running time 20min. Show date will be during LOAF 2009, Tuesday April 21st and Thursday April 23rd.
