# Event Details

- **Event Name**: READING / CASTING - Brief Encounter (Dudley Little Theatre)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 21 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 21 Nov, 2025 at 09:30 pm
- **Event Description**: READING / CASTING - Noel Coward’s Brief Encounter - adapted for the stage by Emma Rice

An old classic given new life! 

When two married strangers, Laura and Alec, meet by chance in the railway refreshment room, their friendship soon becomes more than they bargained for. Lost in the wide lagoon of love, will they dare to shatter their entire world for the sake of an agonising affair? Or should it stay only within these brief encounters at a train station? 

We’re looking for a cast who can bring this celluloid sensation to life from the silver screen to stage, with actors portraying the lovers of the story, as well as ample opportunity for smaller side characters. Performers should expect a combination of naturalistic drama and over the top comedic moments. It is not essential, however anyone with a musical inclination or ability to play instruments should also consider being part of our live band for this show! 

The main roles are as follows:
LAURA JESSON (Female, 18-35)
ALEC HARVEY (Male, 18-35)
MYRTLE (Female, 35+)
ALBERT (Male, 35+)
BERYL (Female, 18-35)
STANLEY (Male, 18-35)
FRED JESSON (Male, 25+)
VARIOUS ASSORTED SMALLER ROLES ALSO AVAILABLE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED 

Why not also try out for our live band? We’re looking for musicians who can fill out our live band scoring this wonderful lively performance. If you are interested please get in touch directly to let us know what you play.
