The Audition

Written by the BBC Stewart Parker Award & the New York Innovative Theatre Award Nominee James Johnson, ‘The Audition’ is a story of two struggling souls, one innocent, another – hard as stone, ‘The Audition’ is ruthless and takes no prisoners: it calls theatre ‘a pigeon that shits on you, but it still expects you to feed it breadcrumbs’, it proves that actors are weird species who transmit on a different frequency, it gives you a taste of that weirdness. A bitter taste.

Directed by Kit Thacker, one of London’s best kept directing secrets, it’s bound to be talked about. Kit has directed over 140 plays, including 4 shows in New York, and specialises in the theatre that takes us to the edge of our comfort. Actresses Olga Leon and Victoria Tyrrell who play Stella and Lauren, are prepared to bear their talent and give it to you raw, without compromise.
