The Cottage by Sandy Rustin is a British Farce requiring actors to speak with an upper to middle class British accent with razor sharp pacing & comedic timing. 3 females & 3 males.
For those interested, please prepare a 60-90 second monologue to be performed with a British accent.
Roles Available
SYLVIA VAN KIPNESS: Mid 20’s-40’s, female – A “lovely and rash romantic”. Feminine, yet strong-willed, Sylvia’s attempts at true love leave her frustrated and ever hopeful for a shocking turn of events. BRITISH RP ACCENT. This role requires moments of physical intimacy. This role also requires moments of physical violence.
BEAU: Mid 20’s-Late 40’s, male – “Perhaps the best looking man in Britain,” quite the philanderer. Logical to the point of pessimism. Beau is the type of fellow quite happy with the status quo, no matter what the status quo may be. BRITISH RP ACCENT. This role requires moments of physical intimacy
MARJORIE: Mid 20’s-40’s, – EXTREMELY PREGNANT (8 Months), pragmatic and a tad spicy. Unflappable in every sense of the word. Unless of course, she’s in labor. BRITISH RP ACCENT. This role requires moments of physical intimacy
CLARKE: Mid 20’s-Late 40’s, – Distinguished gent with a lover’s spirit. Always aiming to please, Clarke’s kind-heartedness may lead others to take him for a fool.
BRITISH RP ACCENT. This role requires moments of physical intimacy.
DIERDRE: 20’s-30’s, – An awfully pretty, “wisp of a thing,” sometimes wise, nincompoop. Gullible is Diedre’s middle name. She’s awfully sweet though, if you like that sort of thing. Surprisingly capable of unexpected clarity and insight. Has an interesting giggle
BRITISH ACCENT (RP/WORKING CLASS). This role requires moments of physical intimacy & moments of physical violence.
RICHARD 30’s-40s male – A “murderous, yet gentle soul.” Born to be half of a soul-mated duo, Richard is hell-bent on finding and keeping his true love (no matter what). BRITISH ACCENT (RP/WORKING CLASS). This role requires moments of physical intimacy.
