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.
Deadline for auditions is **DECEMBER 20!**
Please note: we are using auditions from the roles below to cast more parts than are listed here!
NOTE: age ranges listed are for character voice/vocal tone, not the age of the actor.
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.
