  • Opportunity for a role in theatre play ‘Heaven sent’

    Description

    HEAVEN SENT written by Sébastien Thiéry, adapted by Charlie Gobbett and directed by Jess Toyne.

    Bryan, a moderately successful anaesthetist, comes back from work one day to find a fifty-pound note on the table. Nothing particularly odd about that… But the next morning, his wife Lesley discovers a small pile of money on the lounge floor, and soon bundles – then floods – of cash start falling out of cupboards and piling up in the bedroom. Where is all this money coming from? Does someone up there like them or is someone persecuting them for some past misdeed? As their previously untroubled and unremarkable domestic life starts to fall apart under the strain, their suspicions fall on their Polish cleaner Kasia, but then a paranoid neighbour with a penchant for violence turns up with suspicions of his own, and things get really serious…

    PERFORMANCE DATES: Saturday 9th to Saturday 16th May (excluding Sunday) at 7.30pm

    Rehearsals to start mid March

    ROLE:

    Bryan Evans (50s) - An anaesthetist who likes his job. He has been married to Lesley for over 20 years.

  • Student short film ‘Under the Mirrorball’ looking for multiple roles

    Description

    STUDENT SHORT FILM
    Title: Under the Mirrorball
    Location: Stoke-on-Trent
    Shoot Period: March 2026
    Production: Student Short Film
    Compensation: Unpaid Volunteer Work Only (Credit, Copy)

    Under the Mirrorball is an intimate relationship drama exploring emotional distance, vulnerability, and the quiet ways connection can decay — not through explosive arguments, but through avoidance and emotional dishonesty.

    The role of Martin has been cast.

    We are currently seeking the following roles:

    HELEN – Lead – Female –
    Playing Age 45-60
    Helen is emotionally perceptive but internally guarded. She senses the growing distance in her relationship but struggles to articulate her needs. Much of her performance relies on subtle expression and internal conflict rather than overt confrontation.
    Seeking a naturalistic performer comfortable with emotionally intimate, dialogue-driven scenes.

    SARAH – Supporting – Female –
    Playing Age 45-55
    Sarah is socially confident and outwardly warm. She provides contrast to Helen’s introspection and represents ease and emotional openness in social settings.
    Strong presence and natural delivery required.

    GEORGE – Supporting – Male –
    Playing Age 45–55
    George is relaxed and observant, often diffusing tension in group dynamics. He appears emotionally straightforward, which subtly highlights the emotional avoidance within the central relationship

    CASTING FOR
    HENRY STONE 45 - 55 YEARS OLD MALE
    ANY ETHNICITY
    Henry, a veteran bus driver struggling with survivors guilt, lives as a stoic, working class representation of the mismanagement of the COVID era in the UK. While working as a bus driver at the height of COVID, Henry slowly saw the toll the pandemic had on his social infrastructure - losing friends, and eventually, his wife. Now, years later with little attempt to process his tragic loss, he makes an attempt to fill the void created by his loneliness by slowly falling down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and is disillusioned by the prospect of a ghost living in his flat who he believes to be his late wife. In a desperate attempt, he tries to convince it's existence
    to his son.

James sorely wants to reconnect with his father and help them both move on from the death of James' mother.
