He is engaged to a beautiful young nurse, his writing career is starting to take off and he's on the cusp of a wonderful future. So why does he spend all his savings on jetting around the country, catching up with old girlfriends before he ties the knot? Is he trying to right old wrongs, does he want to speak honestly to his old flames, or is there a deeper, darker motive? Some Girl(s) is set in four motel rooms, as Guy meets with four of his old lovers. But rather than meeting meek and compliant women from his past, Guy is confronted by women who are angry, bemused, scathing and dismissive. This scarifying and hilarious play puts the Gen-X male on trial and reveals his charm, shallowness and danger. The structure of Some Girl(s) is four separate two-hander pieces: Guy meeting his former girlfriends in a motel room. The Girls are Sam, his high school sweetheart, Tyler, a damaged but easy-going girl with whom he had a largely sexual relationship, Lindsay, the married older women who carries a rich seam of anger and Bobbi, the real love of Guy's life. The entrails of each long-passed relationship are examined with funny, disturbing and caustic results. Roles Available: GUY Guy is supremely confident, charming and immediately engaging. He is the kind of man women immediately fall for. He is intelligent and literate. He is worldly and sophisticated. He has a glint in his eye and a sexual charge. But he is immature and shallow - once a relationship begins to sour, he runs. He has run from the four women in Some Girl(s) and now he faces them, years later, trying to make peace with them. But there are darker motives at work with Guy, he is selfish and meretricious. We need to see an outwardly attractive man who has a sinister edge. SAM – Stage age 35 Seattle (same age as Guy)– met at high school Mother with kids - happy to be a mother Small-town world view but aware of this - no broader ambitions Still upset that Guy dumped her (but doesn't think about it) Would have been very pretty and sweet when 17/18 - need to see this Must understand why Guy loved her and why he left her TYLER – Stage age 28-33 – Chicago – met at college Sexed up, physically forward Her relationship with Guy was based on sex and we need to see this connection Drug-user Vulnerable and damaged Artistic/kooky Not really hurt by Guy, a bit curious about him Unfussed about having sex with him Rehearsals: Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Sunday afternoons Some Girl(s) will take the form of a moved play reading. The actors will be expected to know the text intimately, but will have scripts in hand. There will be only the most minimal blocking, lighting, costume and sets. The rehearsal period is relatively short, with each Girl having two rehearsals before productions week. Guy will need to attend each rehearsal. The rehearsal will focus on getting inside the characters, so the performances will show advanced and intelligent character development. Performances: 15 and 16 October 2010, Little Theatre, The Cloisters, University of Adelaide Auditions: Auditions Saturday 14 August 2010 10am Little Theatre, The Cloisters, University of Adelaide Please prepare a monologue of your choice. You will also be asked to read an excerpt from the play. American accents will be used so we would like you to try your American accent during your audition!
