| The Kings of the Kilburn High Road by Jimmy Murphy Directed by Jerod Blake Synopsis: Six young Irish working men emigrate to London in the early 1970s. Like so many of their generation, they spend their lives in manual labor jobs; digging ditches or construction work. They intended to stay only a little while, make some money and return home as successful men, but that day never seemed to arrive. Now, twenty-something years later, still in London, five of them gather in the side room of a pub in an informal wake for one of them who has died. All are in their late-40s or early-50s. All but one (who had split off from the group years earlier and established a successful construction company of his own) are broken from lives of hard work and harder drinking. The entire play takes place in one afternoon and evening at that pub, as the characters drink to their fallen friend; the only one to make it home, albeit in a coffin. Secrets are revealed and lies are uncovered Audition dates: June 21 7-10pm, June 23 7-10pm and callbacks June 26 10am- 1pm at the Irish Cultural Society in Bowness. Auditions will be held in a group setting, cold reading from the script. Plan to be at the audition for the full 3 hours so we can do our best to give everyone an equal chance to read all parts. Rehearsal dates: Begin Mid August and run Tuesdays & Thursdays (7-10pm) and Sunday mornings (10-1pm) Performance dates: Move in October 30 and close November 12 in "The Shed" at The Pumphouse Theatres. Age range accepted for the auditions will be mid- 40's to early 60's.
