HAMPTON THEATRE COMPANY AUDITION NOTICE

A comedic live theatre adaptation of Hitchcock’s “The 39 Steps,” this fast-paced, action-packed romp set in the 1930s tells a story requiring sharp timing and lots of physical comedy: A classic Hitchcock leading man is swept into a wild case of espionage after a woman is murdered in his apartment.

The cast features four actors playing multiple roles with multiple accents:

Richard Hannay, 30 – 40; a dashing, handsome, confident, and debonair upper-class Englishman who becomes increasingly frazzled. British accent required.

Female actor, 30-40; three roles:

Annabella Schmidt: A glamorous foreign spy who pulls Hannay into a conspiracy; intriguing, sultry and secretive. German accent required.

Pamela Edwards: Hannay’s reluctant companion; initially distrustful and icy, evolves into a love interest. British accent required

Margaret: Sweet and innocent Scottish farmer’s wife; falls for Hannay and protects him from her jealous husband. Scottish accent required.

Clown 1, either gender. Age range flexible.

Clown 2, either gender. Age Range flexible.

The two clowns play all remaining 150 roles: villains, police officers, train conductors, salespeople, hotel clerks, women, men, etc. Must be able to switch characters quickly; broad physical comedy. Strong British (cockney and standard), Scottish and German accents required.
