Our friends at the Earagail Arts Festival are looking to cast a child actor in one of their big events at this year’s festival. I Do is a show by the UK based Dante or Die Theatre Co.
Role: Kitty, Age: 9 – 11
Character: A flower girl at a wedding; Kitty is a defiant young girl hiding from her mother in the Bridal Suite. She’s precocious and has heard her mum and dad fighting the night before.
The Show: The Best Man is practicing his speech. The Bridesmaids are squeezing the bride into her dress. Mum and Dad are seeing each other for the first time in years. Grandma is struggling to dress her husband whilst the bride’s brother is getting frisky with the maid of honour. Meanwhile, the Groom is frozen…
Dante or Die’s eleven–‐strong cast voyeuristically peek into the lives of a wedding party as the big moment looms nearer. Divided into six groups, the audience discovers the twists and turns in the plot in different order, seeing the same ten minutes replayed in each of the rooms, from each character’s point of view.
