SUMMARY:FRANKENSTEIN
DESCRIPTION:Written By: Written by Nick Dear. Based on the novel by Mary Shelley. \nCreative Team: Directed By: Justine C. Lewis \n\nNick Dear’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Gothic novel retells the well-known story from the point of view of The Creature.\nThe Creature is created by Victor Frankenstein\, a troubled\, young scientist who has grown frustrated by traditional scientific methods. His ego and dark ambition drive him to play with life itself and he succeeds in bringing The Creature to life.\nChildlike in his innocence but grotesque in his form\, the bewildered Creature is abandoned in a hostile world by his horror-struck maker. Due to his terrifying appearance\, The Creature experiences cruelty\, prejudice\, and fear wherever\nhe goes. He slowly learns the ways of the world and is educated by Old Man De Lacey\, a blind man who provides The Creature with the kindness\, empathy\, and friendship he desperately craves; However\, when Old Man De Lacey’s family turn on the Creature\, his hope of finding a kinder place in the world is dashed. The Creature embarks upon a\nviolent killing spree\, determined to track down his maker Victor Frankenstein and force him to provide The Creature with the companion he desperately craves.\nFrankenstein’s abandonment of The Creature sets into motion a downward spiral of catastrophic events that destroy Frankenstein’s loved ones and\, ultimately\, binds him to his Creature…Forever!\nNick Dear’s 2011 retelling of Mary Shelley’s 1818 intriguing\, gothic\, cautionary tale proves that actions have consequences and no matter how hard we try\, there is a monster within us all! \n\nInformation Session: \n\nAudition Information: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1592266 \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n13/06/2026\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n13:00 – 18:00\n\n\nAudition Information #:2\n\n\nDate:\n14/06/2026\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n13:00 – 18:00\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:1\n\n\nRole Name:\nThe Creature\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nStage Age: 20’s – 40’s\nPart Size: Lead\nThe shows duel protagonist and antagonist alongside Victor Frankenstein.\nThe Creature is born from Victor’s ego to process power\, knowledge and to prove a point.\nSewn together from deceased corpses and born again essentially as a newborn in a fully grown body needing to learn the ways of the world again.

Upon being created before she can be fully reanimated\, she is destroyed by Victor as he fears unleashing another blight upon humanity and does not want to risk The Creature’s having children.\n(Please Note: Role only requires a small amount of stage time and has no spoken dialogue.

Discretion is advised if considering auditioning for this role.)\n\n\n\n\nMore Information at: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1592266\nDetailed Accent Information:\nAll characters are required to sport a European accent or at least a British one. However\, for some characters I am looking for more specific dialects as indicted below \nTHE CREATURE:\nFor the Creature I am looking for him to sport two accents. Firstly\, a parroting of Klaus/Gustav accents as these are the first words spoken to him that he repeats later in the show. Later switching to a Received Pronunciation (RP) accent to reflect the lessons and patterns learnt from Old Man De Lacy. Thus creating another example of juxtaposition between his ‘monstrous’ appearance to the eloquence of his vocal abilities. \nVICTOR FRANKENSTEIN\, ELIZABETH LAVENZA\, WILLIAM FRANKENSTEIN\, MONSUIER FRANKENSTEIN & OLD MAN DE LACY:\nI am looking for Received Pronunciation (RP)\, commonly referred to as the Queen’s or the King’s English. Typical\, upmarket and the go-to accent\, very prim and proper. \nGUSTAV\, KLAUS\, GRETEL\, CLARICE\, AGATHA DE LACY & FELIX DE LACY:\nFor these characters I am looking for a plethora of working class/ lower class accents. A few examples are as follows; Yorkshire\, Gordie\, Cockney\, Irish\, Essex\, German\, Swiss or Estuary. These are to accentuate that the characters are in working class positions. Thus providing a distinct juxtaposition from the Upper-Class characters. By invoking the vast dialects drawn from across Europe this fleshes out the world and allows the audience to acknowledge the different countries that the show takes place in as well as how vast this story stretches. \nRAB & EWAN:\nAs these characters hail from Orkney archipelago off the north coast of Scotland. I am looking for a Scottish Orkney or Scottish Glasgow accent as these dialects are very country\, rural\, rough and harsh as well as of course being native to the region. This will also reflect the working-class nature as well as further differentiate these characters from the other roles these actors may play i.e. Gustav and Klaus. \nRehearsals:\nRehearsals Commence:\nTuesday July 1 st \, 7:00pm\nTuesday Nights: 7:00pm – 9:30pm\nThursday Nights: 7:00pm – 9:30pm\n(Cast to arrive between 6:30pm to 6:45pm for a 7:00pm start) \nSunday Rehearsals\nCommence: Sunday 3rd\, 1:00pm\nSunday Afternoon’s: 1pm – 5pm\n(Cast to arrive between 12:30pm to 12:45pm for a 1pm start) \nIn-between Rehearsals –\nMonday\, November\, 16 th – Full Dress (Hair & Make-up)\nTuesday\, November\, 17 th – Full Dress (Optional Filming) \nPerformances:\nFriday\, November\, 13th (Opening Night) -7:30pm\nSaturday\, November 14th – 2:00pm & 7:30pm\nSunday\, November 15th – 2:00pm\nThursday\, November 19th – 7:30pm\nFriday\, November 20th – 7:30pm\nSaturday\, November 21 st (Closing Night) – 7:30pm \nProduction Week –\nSunday\, November\, 8th – Bump In\nMonday\, November 9th – Tech Run\nTuesday\, November 10th – Dress Run (No Hair & Make-Up)\nWednesday\, November 11th – Final Dress Run\nThursday\, November 12th – Day Off!! \nVenue:\nNoarlunga Uniting Church Hall\n23 William Road\, Chrisites Beach \nAuditions:\nSaturday\, 13th June\n1:00PM – 6:00PM \nSunday\, 14th June\n1:00PM – 6:00PM \nPlease book your audition time slot via the below link and email\nhttps://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1592266 \nPhoenix Variety and Music Group via email to receive your audition except pieces.\nphoenixvareity.musicgroup@gmail.com \nVenue:\nNoarlunga Uniting Church Hall\n23 William Road\, Christies Beach \n\nContact: Justine Lewis\nphoenixvariety.musicgroup@gmail.com\n0431987988

This role is The Creature’s polar opposite; The Beauty to this Beast\, the goddess to his demon. She is The Creature’s only wish from his ‘father ‘so as not to spend eternity alone and not to know love. Upon being created before she can be fully reanimated\, she is destroyed by Victor as he fears unleashing another blight upon humanity and does not want to risk The Creature’s having children.\n(Please Note: Role only requires a small amount of stage time and has no spoken dialogue. However\, she does have a featured interpretive dance/movement scene that is performed with the actor playing The Creature to Alex Warren’s- Ordinary. Dance experience is not essential but must be able to move to music.\nAlso this character is required to portray an illusion of nudity through the use of theatrical means. Discretion is advised if considering auditioning for this role.)\n\n\n\n\nMore Information at: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1592266\nDetailed Accent Information:\nAll characters are required to sport a European accent or at least a British one. However\, for some characters I am looking for more specific dialects as indicted below \nTHE CREATURE:\nFor the Creature I am looking for him to sport two accents. Firstly\, a parroting of Klaus/Gustav accents as these are the first words spoken to him that he repeats later in the show. Later switching to a Received Pronunciation (RP) accent to reflect the lessons and patterns learnt from Old Man De Lacy. Thus creating another example of juxtaposition between his ‘monstrous’ appearance to the eloquence of his vocal abilities. \nVICTOR FRANKENSTEIN\, ELIZABETH LAVENZA\, WILLIAM FRANKENSTEIN\, MONSUIER FRANKENSTEIN & OLD MAN DE LACY:\nI am looking for Received Pronunciation (RP)\, commonly referred to as the Queen’s or the King’s English. Typical\, upmarket and the go-to accent\, very prim and proper. \nGUSTAV\, KLAUS\, GRETEL\, CLARICE\, AGATHA DE LACY & FELIX DE LACY:\nFor these characters I am looking for a plethora of working class/ lower class accents. A few examples are as follows; Yorkshire\, Gordie\, Cockney\, Irish\, Essex\, German\, Swiss or Estuary. These are to accentuate that the characters are in working class positions. Thus providing a distinct juxtaposition from the Upper-Class characters. By invoking the vast dialects drawn from across Europe this fleshes out the world and allows the audience to acknowledge the different countries that the show takes place in as well as how vast this story stretches. \nRAB & EWAN:\nAs these characters hail from Orkney archipelago off the north coast of Scotland. I am looking for a Scottish Orkney or Scottish Glasgow accent as these dialects are very country\, rural\, rough and harsh as well as of course being native to the region. This will also reflect the working-class nature as well as further differentiate these characters from the other roles these actors may play i.e. Gustav and Klaus. \nRehearsals:\nRehearsals Commence:\nTuesday July 1 st \, 7:00pm\nTuesday Nights: 7:00pm – 9:30pm\nThursday Nights: 7:00pm – 9:30pm\n(Cast to arrive between 6:30pm to 6:45pm for a 7:00pm start) \nSunday Rehearsals\nCommence: Sunday 3rd\, 1:00pm\nSunday Afternoon’s: 1pm – 5pm\n(Cast to arrive between 12:30pm to 12:45pm for a 1pm start) \nIn-between Rehearsals –\nMonday\, November\, 16 th – Full Dress (Hair & Make-up)\nTuesday\, November\, 17 th – Full Dress (Optional Filming) \nPerformances:\nFriday\, November\, 13th (Opening Night) -7:30pm\nSaturday\, November 14th – 2:00pm & 7:30pm\nSunday\, November 15th – 2:00pm\nThursday\, November 19th – 7:30pm\nFriday\, November 20th – 7:30pm\nSaturday\, November 21 st (Closing Night) – 7:30pm \nProduction Week –\nSunday\, November\, 8th – Bump In\nMonday\, November 9th – Tech Run\nTuesday\, November 10th – Dress Run (No Hair & Make-Up)\nWednesday\, November 11th – Final Dress Run\nThursday\, November 12th – Day Off!! \nVenue:\nNoarlunga Uniting Church Hall\n23 William Road\, Chrisites Beach \nAuditions:\nSaturday\, 13th June\n1:00PM – 6:00PM \nSunday\, 14th June\n1:00PM – 6:00PM \nPlease book your audition time slot via the below link and email\nhttps://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1592266 \nPhoenix Variety and Music Group via email to receive your audition except pieces.\nphoenixvareity.musicgroup@gmail.com \nVenue:\nNoarlunga Uniting Church Hall\n23 William Road\, Christies Beach \n\nContact: Justine Lewis\nphoenixvariety.musicgroup@gmail.com\n0431987988
