AUDITIONS FOR ALAN BENNETT’S ‘THE LADY IN THE VAN’
The Auditions to be held on Tuesday 19th November at 7.30pm at the Playhouse
(scripts available from 6.30pm).
THE LADY IN THE VAN by Alan Bennett
It is said that charity begins at home and for Alan Bennett it began at the bottom of his drive with a custard yellow van inhabited by an elderly eccentric who refused to budge for 15 years. Where others might have seen this as an obstruction Bennett spotted an opportunity and eventually the play The Lady in the Van was developed.
There are three main characters in the play – Miss Shepherd who is irascible and annoying but also at the same time funny and charming who graces the whole play throughout.
A pair of identical Alan Bennett’s deliver a Tweedledum -Tweedledee commentary on the social issue developing on their doorstep: intellectual Alan 2 maintains an objective, writerly interest, while practical Alan deals with the day-to-day irritation.
Although the play presents a hilarious catalogue of Miss Shepherd’s foibles, there are around eight small but wonderful Cameo Roles;
Rufus & Pauline the posh irritating neighbours,
Underwood a shifty and unscrupulous policeman,
Mam who is Bennett’s Mother,
Social Worker who is feisty and determined,
a Doctor to Miss Shepherd
and Ambulance Man and Interviewer.
Some of these roles can be doubled up and will be really so very rewarding for any actor to play.
