IN SHORT
WHO: MALE ACTOR 25-40 TO PLAY ROBOT
WHAT: COMEDY STAGE PRODUCTION
WHEN: REHEARSALS LATE MARCH. SEASON 14TH MAY-1ST JUNE.
WITH: PHIL MIOLIN
"Directed by
Phil Miolin, Robots Vs. Art is a comedy set in a time when robots have
wiped out ninety percent of humanity and assigned the remaining ten percent of
the population to hard labor in sustainable underground mines. The play begins
when Giles, an underground miner (formerly an actor/ director/ writer) is
called to the office of the Executive Producer Master Bot, that has been placed
in charge of art and wants to see a new play he has written performed “by robot
actors for a robot audience”.
The play was
first performed at La Mama Theatre, Melbourne in May 2012 under the direction
of its author, Travis Cotton and received rave reviews.
The play is
performed by four actors. We have already cast three very strong performers in
the other roles.
We are
looking to cast the role of Soldier Bot / Claw Bot to be played by the same
actor. Soldier Bot is an uncompromising enforcer. The Soldier Bots keep the
humans in line by “chaining” them. Claw Bot by contrast provides much of the
pathos of the piece. A simple robot Clawbots were designed for crushing rocks
in the underground mines. Predictably, the actor will have to be comfortable
working with oversized claw shaped hands. Clawbots are not held in particularly
high esteem by the other Robots. Age range (25-40).
Rehearsals
are scheduled to begin late March with the season running from 14 May- 1 June
in The Studio.
