Final auditions for lead roles in local
production Botoo will take place at
The Playhouse Company on February 27.
The search is on for the male and female
leads in the play Botoo to be staged
by The Playhouse Company in August as part of the South African Women’s Arts
Festival. The play, to mark the publication of the book, SA Women of Indian Origin by Dr Devi Rajab, is written and directed
by Ronnie Govender.
- Gonum (central character) – Indian,
female, late 40’s, medium build, slim, throaty, ready laugh, extrovert,
politically conscious, preferably curly black hair.
- Writer – Indian, male, mid-30’s,
preferably full head of hair, confident, ready sense of humour, politically
conscious.
Dr Gonum was very prominent in the struggle
against apartheid and was one of the foremost leaders of the Passive Resistance
Movement but she was also known as a feisty, no-nonsense person who bravely
stood up for her rights as a woman at a time of great conservatism, especially
within the Indian community.
Each person auditioning must bring a
biography and photograph to the audition. They also need to prepare a soliloquy
no more than two minutes long.
The auditions will take place on February 27
from 13h00 at The Playhouse Company Head Office, 29 Acutt Street Durban, in
rehearsal studio A1.
