Well, I went to the audition for the play, 'Extremities' on Monday and got a call back for yesterday... and what do you know, I got the part! I'm feeling a little smug about that now, but it'll pass. I'll be playing the part of Marjorie. It's quite a difficult piece because my character is assaulted and nearly raped in the opening minutes of the play, and it's not that it's too sexual, more that it's quite intimate. However, I'm very fortunate in that the part of my attacker, who I tie up eventually, is going to be played by a friend of mine, Keith Ward, so at least it's someone I'm comfortable with, someone who I can talk to if things get weird!
Anyway, I'm quite pleased about getting this part, primarily because I'm going to be writing off to agents and casting directors in the next week, asking them to come and see me, and it would be great to be able to say 'Come to see me in The Intruder and if you can't make it to that, come and see me in Extremities'... That's the best bit, more exposure and it looks like I'm a viable working actress who might be worth taking on their books.
As for the short film, I auditioned on Wednesday, and we're all going to hear on Monday. I was fairly convinced I'd done well in the play auditions, and while I don't think I did a bad audition for the short film, I think the fact that I'm a little too old for the part is going to work against me. I just hope my audition was so impressive they can't do without me!!! It would certainly be another great thing to stick in that letter!
Still, a partial victory for the moment!
