*EDIT*

Thanks so much to everyone who shared and got in touch. We have had an amazing response and are working to get back to everyone who has contacted us and arrange audition slots for the end of July. We are now closing this casting call and will not be accepting any new applications.

🎭 AUDITION CALL – FEMALE PRESENTING ACTOR WANTED🎭

We’re casting for a two-week R&D process of N**e, the debut production from Theatre Bacchanalia — a bold, intimate one-woman play written by Phoebe Segal, exploring art, sexuality, shame, and the male gaze through the framing of a life drawing class (no nudity required).

🗓 Rehearsals: Weekdays 15–24 September 2025 (full-time, Norwich)
🎥 Industry sharing and promotional filming: 25-26 September at Norwich Theatre’s Stage Two
💰 Paid role – 2 weeks at least Equity minimum + travel expenses

We’re looking for a female or non-binary performer with strong storytelling instincts, emotional nuance, and the ability to hold a space solo. Playing age ~20-25. The role is confessional, funny, and provocative — you’ll need to be confident delivering direct address and working closely with the creative team.

The R&D will be co-directed by Merlyn Haycraft and Phoebe Segal.
