AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT 

​

We are excited to announce that the January Tamaritan’s production will be in The Drum and will be  THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN. 

​

Based on the bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins and DreamWorks film / Adapted by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel 

​

A new stage adaptation based on Paula Hawkins' international bestseller and the blockbuster DreamWorks film, The Girl on the Train is a gripping mystery/suspense thriller. It is a very contemporary style play set in current day. 

 

I wanted to give you advance notice that we will be auditioning for the cast in August with a view to beginning rehearsals in September. Initial dates for auditions will be 12th and 15th August. If you wish to book an audition for either of those dates, please contact me directly on vincesutton@virginmedia.com. I will then send out audition info to you with auditon pieces.  

 

I am aware that August is a time when many go on holiday and we do not want that to prevent you auditioning. If you are unable to make either of the above dates please still contact me, I will endeavour to arrange an alternate time.
