Middletown Lyric Theatre’s
BOSTON MARRIAGE by David Mamet
Production: June 21, 22, 28 & 29

We are looking for two women for the following roles

Contact: Charley Shafor at cshafor@middletownlyric.org for an appointment

The role of Anna has been cast

Claire: 30s
a young, unattached lesbian woman living on the fringes of upscale Victorian society; once was Anna’s lover, but that has ended and she is currently pursuing a young uninitiated girl for whom she has fallen head over heels; visits Anna, her ex, to ask her to allow Claire to meet with her prospective lover in Anna’s apartment; less educated and younger than Anna.

Catherine: 20s
Anna’s Scottish maid; has to put up with Anna and Claire’s merciless verbal abuse, but in the end there is much more to her than meets the eye; must have superb comedic timing and the ability to execute a Scottish dialect.

Both roles must have strong comedic timing while being able to deftly navigate Mamet’s quick witted repartee that features modern sensibilities couched in Victorian turns of phrase.
