As a steer on what the casting committee will be looking for, character will be key. If you've never seen Fawlty Towers, feel free to view the episodes on Netflix, YouTube, etc to get an idea. If you have time, please read the script pieces before the audition to give yourself more of a chance than if you simply read the lines straight off the page. While the director will want to give you freedom to bring your own character to the roles, success in casting will be based on how you portray it. Not so worried about you learning the audition lines, though that can help you express yourself more easily. REHEARSALS and SHOW WEEK Rehearsals commence Tuesday 23rd June and will run each Tuesday and Thursday 6.30-8.30pm at Barclays HQ, 1 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf.
