ALT Unseemly Shakespeare is BACK! Presented by Unseemly Women, HER Productions & Girl Gang Manchester, we are proud to be bringing our 5th Unseemly Shakespeare to Hope Mill Theatre (Manchester) & Shakespeare North Playhouse (Prescot) in 2023. We are casting for a diverse, dynamic and exciting ensemble of female and non-binary performers to make up the 12-strong cast of LEAR. Our productions are a celebration of local talent. We want to work with performers who enjoy collaboration and creating a positive work space. Our ensemble will be made up of performers with varied experience. We welcome seasoned Shakespeare performers, alongside those who have felt excluded from Shakespeare in the past. Our shows tend to incorporate clown, dance, movement, music, so please let us know when applying if you have specific skills in any of these areas (or others we haven’t mentioned!) Previous applicants are very welcome to apply. Full breakdown available on Spotlight UK & herproductions.co

ALT Blank Suit by Megan Hyland R&D Cast call-out
ALT Synopsis: On a slow Tuesday night in a dive bar, two women sit at a table playing cards. This is the first time they’ve met, but they’re competing for far more than aces and spades. By the end of the week, one of them will have to kill the other. Both highly skilled assassins caught competing for the highest kill count in order to get answers they have searched years for, Dana and Nia will stop at nothing to get them…or so they think. Because upon meeting, Dana and Nia find that they’re far more interested in each other than they are in the competition at hand. Can they both still get what they want without having to kill the other? Developed as part of Northern Broadsides Theatre Company’s Young Writers Forge 2022, Blank Suit is a camp, surreal, female-focused dark comedy that is fundamentally queer and character driven. With killer outfits, narcissistic radio hosts and unexpected twists, it is an absolute crowd-pleaser filled with hilarious and can’t-look-away moments.
ALT Character Breakdown: DANA 25 years old, female, white Dangerous, flirtatious & outrageous. A highly-skilled assassin that will stop at nothing to get what she wants – and has fun while doing it. NIA 27 years old, female, black Strong and still, with a sharp sarcasm. A stealthy and expert assassin who keeps to herself and likes it that way. SHE 45-years-old; any gender and ethnicity Speaks with an unsettling and intimidating calm. A powerful member of an unknown organisation, their position is unknown, but their presence is no less chilling. WAITRESS Mid-20s; female, black Hilariously ignorant and ignorantly hilarious. A dissatisfied waitress that loves to gossip but crumbles when it catches up to her.
