Audition Notice Directed by Paul Kay and Joy Hellyer Auditions: 7-8 April 2018 Production Dates: 27 June - 7 July 2018 Rehearsal Period: rehearsals start 15 April 2018 Among Shakespeare’s many great works, King Lear is often seen as the greatest – and the most challenging. The story of the man who divides up his wealth and his powers among his three daughters, essentially putting himself at the mercy of the two who love him not, while banishing the one who does, is at the same time an epic tale and an intriguing family drama. Our Lear will have a New Zealand aesthetic and we’re looking for a pool of actors committed to bringing our favourite Shakespeare to life. We are not particular about accents, but we’ll be keen to have some Kiwi voices in the mix and would be delighted to have Māori actors audition for us. Note: auditions have already been held for the roles of Lear and Gloucester and these have been cast. We are looking for male actors for Edgar and Edmund, and female actors for Goneril, Regan and Cordelia, but are willing to consider cross-casting options for any of the other roles:
