The Revival - Auditions
The Revival
by James Cawood
We are currently auditioning for a production of The Revival, directed by Connor Cunningham.
Auditions will take place in the Priory Theatre foyer on:
Sunday 1st June 3pm
& Sunday 8th June 5pm.
The new play from the author of STONE COLD MURDER and DEATH KNELL is a chilling ghost story full of shocks, twists, and gothic atmosphere.
The cast of Lucian O’Keefe’s 1946 classic ghost play Scared to
Death are gathered and ready for their final dress rehearsal before
opening night but all is not going smoothly. Actors are bickering,
one of them can’t learn their lines, the director is on the edge of
a nervous breakdown and to top it all off, the ghostly happenings
of the play seem to be encroaching onto the real world.
Slowly but surely fear takes hold as tales of the play’s curse seem to hold
true and the cast find themselves caught up in an all too real,
spine-tingling and terrifying ghost story.

Michael Prentice – Late 40’s. A theatre director who has enjoyed varying degrees of success. Slightly theatrical but not to the point of Cliché

Hugo Tilling-Hunt (Timothy Grey) – Early 30’s. A public school educated, handsome young man with the confidence and brio that comes with such a background.
