The play is written for four actors: one plays the role of Richard Hannay; one woman plays the three ladies with whom Hannay is romantically involved during this two-hour chase through Scotland and southern England; and two actors, male or female, play Clown 1 and Clown 2 who appear as approximately 125 characters between them. Think “The Ministry of Silly Walks” meets “The Bourne Identity”. The play actually follows the movie story scene by scene and will involve a suggested set (there are 33 scenes), a ton of sound, a ton of costume accessories, a chase on the outside of a moving train that goes through tunnels, all the double-triple-and-quadruple takes we can cram into it, murder, mayhem, sex, a trillion laughs and all kinds of entertaining this-and-that. The four actors are all on stage for nearly the entire two-act extravaganza. And the dialogue is terrific! It is an exercise that tests the limits of pure theatre and pure imagination. buy your tickets online anytime! www.geaugatheater.org Kelly Miloro GLTG Administrative Asst. 440-285-7701 officemgr@geaugatheater.org
