Adult Roles Audition Notice for Kes by Lawrence Till
 

Billy, a disaffected young boy, has problems at school and at home: he's neglected by his mother, beaten by his brother and bullied on all sides. He adopts a fledgling kestrel and treats it with all the tenderness he has never known.

Date: Friday 8th November
Location: The Warehouse Theatre
Time: 7.30
Performance dates – 15/16 May 2025
This will be an Encore Group Youth Theatre production but we would like to invite a few adults to take on the slightly darker roles to give the production a better balance.

Roles Available:
Mother (Mrs. Casper): (Female, 40s-50s) Billy’s neglectful and indifferent mother, who
fails to provide him with the emotional support and care he desperately needs..
Mr. Sugden: (Male, 40s-50s) – overbearing PE teacher. Takes out his frustrations on the
students.
Mr. Gryce: (Male, 50s-60s) The stern and authoritarian headmaster of Billy’s school.

There are plenty of roles available for young people aged 14 and over.
Rehearsal Schedule: Rehearsals will begin on 15th November and will rehearse on Fridays between 6 and 8.30pm
Please note that full availability during the week of the show for tech and dress rehearsals is mandatory.

We will also need backstage crew including props and prompt so if you would like to get involved then please let me know.
