[NEohioPAL] Auditions for Gaslight (Angel Street)

[Eric Kildow]

 The Kent Trumbull Theatre is kicking off its 53rd season with the
Victorian Thriller "Gaslight" (also known as Angel Street).

A Broadway hit first produced on the West End under the title Gaslight and
filmed twice,Angel Street tells the story of the Manninghams, who live on
Angel Street in 19th century London. As the curtain rises, all appears to
be the essence of Victorian tranquility. It is soon apparent, however, that
Mr. Manningham, a suavely handsome man, is slowly driving his gentle,
devoted wife, Bella, to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness
that masks more sinister motives. While he is out, Mrs. Manningham has an
unexpected caller: amiable, paternal Inspector Rough from Scotland Yard.
Rough is convinced that Mr. Manningham is a homicidal maniac wanted for a
murder committed fifteen years earlier in this very house. Gradually, the
inspector restores Bella’s confidence in herself and, as the evidence
against Manningham unfolds, the author has built and sustained some of the
most brilliant, suspenseful sequences in modern theatre.

ROLES: (2m,3f, 2m/f)
MR. MANNINGHAM - tall and good-looking, about 45. He is heavily moustached
and bearded and perhaps a little too well dressed. His manner is suave and
authoritative, with a touch of mystery and bitterness.
MRS. MANNINGHAM - about 34. She has been good-looking, almost a beauty -
but now she has a haggard, wan, frightened air, with rings under her eyes,
which tell of sleepless nights and worse.
ELIZABETH - a stout, amiable, subservient woman of 50.
NANCY - a self-conscious, pretty, cheeky girl of 19.
ROUGH - middle-aged - greying, short, wiry, active, brusque, friendly,
overbearing. He has a low, warm chuckle and completely dominates the scene
from the beginning.

Show will run October 19-21st, 26-28 (with special gala performance October
25). Rehearsals currently slated for M-Th evenings, with specific times
based on actor schedules. Please email trumbullboxoffice at kent.edu or call
330-675-8887 for more information.
