We are looking for actors to workshop our Norwich-based production of HAMLET: THE PANTOMIME!
Actors must be able to commit to the 10th and/or 17th August 2025, with a strong sense of comedic timing and the ability to...well, read a script, really.
The workshop will consist of a table read in front of a small audience, with the potential for online rehearsals prior to this date depending on cast availability. This is an amateur production, so we are unable to pay on this occasion.
ROLES
Hamlet - Principal Boy, edgelord supreme
Horatio - Hamlet’s best friend, the Braincell of Denmark
Ophelia - Principal Girl, finding her way in life
Gertrude - Dame, misses her late husband
Claudius - Villain, typical Evil Step-Father
Polonius - Chronic Moron
Laertes - Son of Chronic Moron, inherited it
Puck - Fairy Godparent
Ghost - Bitter about being unnamed
Shakespeare - Director in tears
Romeo - Certified Simp
Gerard Neigh - Our Noble Steed
Role doubles:
Polonius/Laertes
Ghost/Romeo
Please note that the majority of roles may be played by any gender presentation, however we are looking for male presenting actors for Gertrude and Claudius, and a female presenting actor for Ophelia.
Please shoot us a message on Facebook or Instagram if you’d be interested, stating your name, playing age, date(s) available, experience in comic acting, and the roles that you are interested in.
Thank you!
