The Rivals: Audition Pieces

The table below links to some small PDF files of the audition pieces for Taunton Thespians Summer 2008 tour of The Rivals. Open Auditions, as noted in the Diary, are being held on the 14th & 15th of April at The Place. Note that some pieces have two characters in them, so you ought to download Jack's first piece if you are auditioning for Mrs Malaprop, and his second for Lydia, for example. The files will open in a new window or tab; your web browser may object to this, and ask if you want to enable pop-ups. Say yes, for this site.
