Dirty Protest Theatre presents…..‘After the End’ by Dennis Kelly
Actors : Call out for casting submissions
AFTER THE END by Dennis Kelly, directed by Mared Swain
Rehearsals: 18th of June- 11th July in Cardiff
Perform: 11th-14th of July, Theatre 2, Sherman Cymru
After the End is a thrilling two-hander by Olivier Award-winning writer Dennis Kelly. A nuclear attack drives Mark and his work colleague down to Mark’s old bomb shelter in his flat. The play explores the complexity of a relationship between the two as they struggle to survive. This will be the play’s premiere in Wales, and Dirty Protest’s first full production.
We are looking for two actors, 1 Male, 1 Female for the following characters:
Mark
Male 25-35
Ethnicity – Any
A bit of a loner, Mark is an opinionated, often misunderstood wannabe hero. He is longing for love, but lacks the social confidence and know how to achieve this. He likes to be in control of his situation.
Louise
Female 25-35
Ethnicity – Any
Popular, fun loving and ambitious, Louise is caring, friendly and tries to see the good in others. Her morals and beliefs are central to her drive to succeed in life.
Please make your submissions via email to
casting@dirtyprotesttheatre.co.uk . Deadline for entries is Monday the 7th of May. We look forward to receiving them.
Please note, actors must be available for the duration of the project, and must be based in, or have a base in Cardiff.
This project is supported by the Arts Council of Wales.
