.

This fast-paced comic spoof based on the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock thriller, follows the misadventures of Richard Hannay, a staid and unassuming man, who finds himself framed for murder and dragged into a web of spies. Possessing information vital to England’s safety, he (clumsily) evades the police and murderous thugs, on a journey that takes him from London, through the Scottish moors, and back again, finding love along the way.

.

Seeking: 4 to 6 versatile actors of various ages to perform the 100+ roles in the script. Must be in excellent shape as the pace of the play is rapid-fire and physically demanding (climbing ladders and quickly descending, leaping from risers, pratfalls, stage fighting, tumbling).

Please prepare a 2-to-3-minute monologue – preferably comic. Be prepared to perform portions of your monologue again incorporating the sometimes-outlandish adjustments asked by the director. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
