The Royalty Theatre – Entertaining Sunderland

Next Audition:

Private Lives by Noël Coward, directed by Corinne Kilvington

Thursday 21st November, 2024, 7:30pm

Cast Required:

Elyot Chase: a handsome, thirtyish man. When the play begins, he is honeymooning at Deauville, France, with his second wife. Five years earlier, he had divorced Amanda, to whom he had been married for three tumultuous years, and then travelled around the world.
Amanda Prynne: Elyot’s first wife, newly married to Victor Prynne. She, too, is honeymooning at Deauville as the play opens. She is the most vivacious character in the work. She is not only beautiful but also spirited, independent, and unconventional — a fit partner for Elyot.
Sibyl Chase: Elyot’s blond, attractive, twenty-three-year-old bride. Conventional, unimaginative, and innocent, she is Amanda’s antithesis and suggests the playwright’s dim view of the “nice” English girl. She implies to Elyot that she will tailor life to suit his whims.
Victor Prynne: A handsome man a few years older than Elyot. Stuffy and stodgy, he lacks a sense of humour. He wants to make over someone’s life and takes it upon himself to do so for his new wife.
Louise: Amanda’s French-speaking maid. She makes a brief appearance in the third act. Her inability to speak English and her incomprehension of the bizarre occurrences in the apartment provide a number of laughs.
