David loves his wife, Gillian. Unfortunately, she died two years ago. David has not dealt with his grief and continues his relationship with Gillian during talks with her “ghost” on the beach at night.  His daughter Rachel, sister in law Esther and her husband Paul come for a visit and bring an unexpected guest – a woman who might be interested in David, on the very weekend that would have been Gilllian’s 37th birthday.   The play is an examination of grief, love and moving on. It is a bittersweet comedy.

Several of the characters have very specific ages that are clearly expressed in the script.  So actors who look stage age appropriate is very important.

Characters

  • David – age 37, college professor temporarily retired.
  • Rachel – age 16, David’s daughter
  • Cindy – age 16, Rachel’s friend
  • Paul – age 38, David’s brother-in-law, married to Esther
  • Esther – age 39, David’s sister-in-law, a psychologist, married to Paul
  • Kevin – age 28, female, friend of Paul and Esther, recently divorced
  • Gillian – age 35, David’s former wife who died in a sailing accident two years prior to the events of the play; Esther’s sister, Rachel’s mom.

Auditions Announced for RING ROUND THE MOON at Village Players

VP_Ring Around the Moon logoThe Village Players invites you to audition for RING ROUND THE MOON by Jean Anouilh (adapted by Christopher Fry). The French title can be translated as Invitation to the Chateau. The original London production featured Paul Scofield as the twins, Margaret Rutherford as Madame Desmermortes, and Claire Bloom as Isabelle. It was directed by Peter Brook.

Story: A number of guests arrive for a party at a country chateau. Their intertwining relationships create a mix of emotions, with comic results. A play “of many moods…wistfully romantic, satirical, fantastic…To make his points about love (the author) has invented a fable about twin brothers—Frederic, who is shy and sensitive, and Hugo, who is heartless and aggressive. Frederic is in love with a hussy who is in love with Hugo. To save Frederic from an unhappy marriage, Hugo tries to distract him by bringing to a ball a beautiful dancer who masquerades as a mysterious personage and becomes the triumph of the occasion. She is a susceptible maiden in her own right. She not only breaks up all the cynical romances that have been going on before she arrived, but loses her own heart as well.”

Characters:

  • Hugo, a young man about town; brash and sure of himself (late 20’s) AND Frederic, his twin brother; somewhat shy. (Hugo and Frederic are played by the same actor.)
  • Joshua, a crumbling butler: think of an old Jeeves (can play 60’s, 70’s)
