Casting - auditions was not easy yesterday when producing a play like #Liberty

Well casting, Audition's it was all so new to me yesterday, i thought the guy from the Crown, the Shakespearian actor or the lead guy from Poldark would be certain to be cast, i had in my mind the characters they would play, the media attention they would secure and it was all just a process in a room full of those people we see on the tele and on our theatre stages, and yet it was so different, i think because i had never done a casting or audition before , it some how was a huge success, the real problem was getting people to leave and deciding who would be cast.

Women god bless them , who would have thought that at an open Audition they would out shine the men with stage presence? , clearly solid preparation and a determination to secure a role in what will be the not just the most important work to be staged in 2019, but probably the best and most original production you will see in 2019 and certain to ne the most talked about. I was just blown away in which some of the Women through themselves quiet literaly into the ( Mens ) characters, whilst the men who attended the audition may have impressive CVs but lacked presence, Character , sang flat and mumbled the words leaving me with the strange position of rejected some of TV and Theatres biggest stars, for lesser known Actors who's hunger for the roles , love of my play left us all in the audition wanting to see more of them, so guys it seems just about every role in the play will be Women , not planned or thought , but talent is talent and when you need to sell tickets, wow an audience and sell out a 2 week run its Talent and a great piece of work that does this. The surprise was the one man who showed up for Audition, a household name whose fame is such you would not expect him to have any interest in this subject matter, after all its not what his fan base or media profile would expect and yet his presence , the huge amount of research he had clearly carried out for the audition the role of Fred Coleman he wished to play left us all charmed, captivated and stunned by his Talent , as they say you should never judge a book by its cover this Guy was brave to accept the offer we gave him, its less money and will change the way the public see him forever, for people in this business thats the bravest thing you can do.

Full press release of the amazing cast will be published end of the Month.
