Shakespeare is poetry but also drama. For clarity in audio, lean towards the more naturalistic readings; let the acting guide the performance, not the rhythm.

We are casting for "The Pendant Shakespeare's" production of DOUBLE FALSEHOOD.

ROLES FOR MEN/NON-BINARY MASCULINE:

Julio (young adult (late teens to mid-20s sounding)/any ethnicity/any accent/cisgender or transgender)
Julio is Camilla's son, an honest boy who is deeply and madly in love with Leonora. He is trusting, which makes him easy to manipulate by his unscrupulous friends, which drives him to great melancholy, and he loves his momma even though she's hard on him.

Line One: (observing Leonora enter)
See, how her beauty doth enrich the place!
O, add the music of thy charming tongue,
Sweet as the lark that wakens up the morn,
And make me think it paradise indeed.
I was about to seek thee, Leonora,
And chide thy coldness, love.

Line Two: (furious at Henriquez betraying him by pursuing Leonora)
Well; let him slink to court, and hide a coward;
Not all his father’s guards shall shield him there.
Or if he prove too strong for mortal arm,
I will solicit ev’ry saint in heav’n
To lend me vengeance.—I’ll about it straight.—
The wrathful elements shall wage this war;
Furies shall haunt him; vultures gnaw his heart;
And nature pour forth all her stores of plagues,
To join in punishment of trust betray’d.

ROLE FOR MEN/NON-BINARY MASCULINE:

Gwyn Ap Nudd (adult 30-50/any ethnicity/UK accent(Welsh or Irish preferred)/cisgender or transgender or non-binary masc)
Fabled Welsh God of the Wild Hunt, he is the King of the Fae Folk and a member of the retinue that collect souls for the Otherworld. He is clever, powerful and calm. If some gods are raging fires, he is an icy chill of death.

Pronunciation: When(or win) - app (like a program) - Neeth (Rhymes with Teeth)
Don't worry too much about the pronunciation in the audition, we will send a guide along once cast.

LINE 1: (Cool, but with slight menace) I gave you your lives as a professional courtesy. Perhaps I shouldn’t have extended it. I had no idea you’d all be so… disrespectful. You only have yourself to blame for your curious predicament, and I am to ensure you stop meddling. Whether or not it’s willingly... that’s entirely your choice.

LINE 2: (A command backed by magic) Silence! (draws himself up, with godly authority) Tremble before me. I am Gwyn Ap Nudd, Master of the Wild Hunt. I collect all souls when the bill comes due.

LINE 1: If you’ll allow me, I think I might provide the answer to your problem. But first may I ask that the firearms be lowered? I assure you I mean no harm.
LINE 2: If I’m not mistaken, you were looking for...Pardon me. (Reading) "...Individuals of an industrious nature, who are clever, loyal, and above all, discreet. Area knowledge is a plus." Is this correct?

Hawthorn is the intern in charge of "all the computer stuff" at an archaeological dig site before heading off to major in Computer Sciences at Hallamere Tech in the fall.

Line 1: (chuckle) Don't worry about nerding out. We're all nerds here. Follow what you love, right?
Line 2: (nervous joking) Well, we're just going into the depths of a centuries-old ruined building without safety gear so uhhh what could go wrong?
Line 3: Well, I wouldn't say magic itself is my hobby. I mean, I can't do any. I just like learning about it. (beat) But obviously, nothing on your level.
