CASTING CALL – BRICKS BY JOE MCNAMARA

Description

PRODUCTION DETAILS
BRICKS is the debut play by emerging playwright

LOGLINE
Set on a building site in Essex, the play follows two bricklayers as they navigate life five years after a hole was left in their friendship group. Jim and Martin still see each other every day, but their long-standing commitment is starting to feel less genuine and more like a matter of routine. Neither wants to speak up

SEEKING
Two lead roles, Jim and Martin

MARTIN
Male, 20s, Essex, any ethnicity. A proper wide boy. Life and soul. A dickhead you have no business liking but you can’t help it

JIM
Male, 20s, Essex, any ethnicity. Much more reserved. Straight-laced; what you see is what you get. Karaoke is his worst nightmare

AUDITIONS
Submit a self-tape by Monday 16 November at 9am. If successful, in-person auditions will take place on Monday 23 November, 10am–6pm, at Theatre Deli, E1W 1YW
