Audition Notice: Private Fears in Public Places

Private Fears in Public Places

by Alan Ayckbourne, directed by Robert Gairey

Audition Form – Private Fears in Public Places

Audition Pack – Private Fears in Public Places

“Private Fears in Public Places” is a dramatic comedy by Alan Ayckbourn, written and first performed in 2004. It’s a fairly serious poignant play about a group of five thirty-somethings, in a tightly connected series of stories across over 50 short scenes.  The themes are those of loneliness, missed opportunities, and people’s inability to communicate – and comprise effective character studies, giving some lovely opportunities for the cast to get underneath their characters.  There are no small roles in this play – the size of roles for each of the six characters is roughly equal.  It is a very thoughtful piece, with an air of melancholy, though there are elements of comedy.
