*What:* Auditions for Skylight by David Hare directed by Sean Derry *When:* Saturday, September 16th 2 - 5pm Sunday, September 17th 10am - 1pm *Where:* none too fragile theatre 732 West Exchange St. Akron, 44302 *About:* David Hare's intensely clear-sighted and compassionate play, about reconnected lovers who consider resurrecting their relationship, won *The Guardian's* coveted Best New Play Award. *"There are times in the theatre when you suddenly find yourself in the grip of silence, There is no fidgeting or coughing, no shifting about in seats: the audience's attention is so tense it is almost palpable. This is because it is both thrilling and dangerous: a fight to the death, or the dawning of salvation. David Hare's play Skylight, is punctuated by such moments. They are the signs that a dramatist of the first rank is writhing at full stretch, in complete command of his material, undogmatic and unafraid, unforgiving and compassionate."* - *Sunday Times* *Roles: *Kyra / Female / 27 - 35 yrs / British / Any Ethnicity / School Teacher Edward / Male / 18 - 23 yrs / British / White or Bi-Racial / A Student.
