For further information, synopsis and audition dates of the second play to be performed at the Spring production, go to: “The Two-Character Play” by Tennessee Williams.

Characters in “The Perfect Woman”

The roles to be cast for “The Perfect Woman” are:

David Smith: a would-be author, 25-35. Determined, ambitious, but not without insecurities. British.

Graham: his best friend, 25-35. Cheerful, empathetic, theoretically British, but not a ‘must’, other options definitely considered.

Mrs Margory (‘Marge’) Smith: David’s mother, 45-55. Worn down by mundane life, but with much character and soul and hidden beauty. British.

Samantha: Perfect Woman, 25-35. Clever, spirited, lively and yes, attractive (‘perfect’ doesn’t exist!). Doesn’t have to be British.

Policemen A and B: Same actors as David and Graham

Synopsis of the play:

David is not having much luck with women. Despite having a very precise idea of what his perfect woman ought to be like, he just doesn’t seem to be meeting her. His friend Graham sympathises, but cannot believe the crazy lengths to which David is prepared to go in order to meet her.

Marge meanwhile is stuck in a rut. For years her life has been nothing but routine, hard work and outright boredom. A surprise visit challenges not only her vision of herself, but also her role in life and that of her fellow women.

David’s absurd plans, come to fruition. Not only does he meet his perfect woman, but she reciprocates his feelings! But is she really all she seems? Does Marge find the energy to move out of her rut? What does Graham want in life? The answers to these questions and more are revealed in the astonishing developments of the final furious scene.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
“The Perfect Woman” will be performed during our Spring production, 6th-8th and 13th-15th April 2018.
