Casting opportunity for “Stones In His Pockets” with Eastern Angles Theatre Company, UK.
Looking for two Irish male actors for the roles of Charlie and Jake in our upcoming spring tour production.
Directed by new Artistic Director / CEO Jake Smith.
Roles:
1. Charlie Conlon: In his mid-thirties and one of a number of extras hired in the filming of a Hollywood movie being shot in rural Ireland, Charlie is the former owner of a failed video store. He has a movie script in his back pocket that he hopes will win some consideration from the movie people. He is relegated to a faceless background role, and his script is never considered.
Age 30-40
Accent and Dialect: Northern Irish, (Ballycastle, County Antrim).
2. Jake Quinn: One of a number of extras hired in the filming of a Hollywood movie being shot in rural Ireland, Jake has recently returned from a short and very unsuccessful stay in New York. Jake has the notion that he might become a film star. Instead, as an extra, he is relegated to digging turf. His attempts at winning the favours of the film’s female star by pretending to be a poet don’t go much better. He is a cousin of the tragic Sean Harkin.
Age 30-40
Accent and Dialect: Irish, (County Kerry).
The actors playing these two roles also portray the rest of the characters in the play. We are looking for actors with a strong physical ability and a passion for multirole, accent and dialect work.
