*For general auditions, actors will be asked to perform a monologue from the show from a provided list. Need not be memorized. Callbacks will consist of readings from the script. Time slots and sides will be sent beginning a week before auditions*

A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a “witch” and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her – and then returns again – unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.

*For all roles, we will be considering actors of any ethnicity unless otherwise noted*

Elizabeth Sawyer, female-presenting, 40s-60s: An outcast
Scratch, male-presenting, 20s-30s: The devil
Sir Arthur Banks, male-presenting, 50s-60s: A wealthy and powerful man
Cuddy Banks, male-presenting, 20s-30s: Sir Arthur’s son, painfully shy, a Morris dancer. He is secretly in love with Frank (and also in hate) *Has a Morris dance number, general dance experience preferred but not required
Frank Thorney, male-presenting, 20s-30s: A confident and successful young man, charming and ruthless. His ambition knows no bounds
Winnifred, female-presenting, 20s-30s: Sir Arthur’s servant, resigned and pragmatic, secretly married to Frank
