There are eight lead roles, as well as a host of other colourful characters to audition for (rapists! deaf piano teachers! chess champions!)

Three audition slots will be held, all at the UCL Bloomsbury Theatre on Gordon Street. **Wednesday, 14th October** 1900-2100 Conference Room, 2nd Floor **Wednesday, 21st October** 1900-2100 Conference Room, 2nd Floor **Friday, 28th October** 1900-2100 Rehearsal Room, 1st Floor There is no need to prepare any material, as scripts will be provided.
