SYNOPSIS
Alfred Hitchcock's well-known fast-paced action-suspense thriller, based on the novel by John Buchan, features
a host of characters all out to silence one individual before he discovers their insidious scheme. The chase
encompasses the length of the British lsles.
Now picture this Hitchcockian movie plot brought to the stage using only four, that's right, four, actors, and you
can imagine an evening of suspense, surprise, and a whole lot of fun.

REQUIREMENTS
Please prepare a 1-2 minute comedic monologue. You may also be asked to do a cold-read from the script, so it
is best to familiarze yourself with the show. Please bring a copy of your resume and headshot to the audition.
Callbacks will consist of scenes from the show, performed in groups. We ask that you be available for the full
three hours so we have a chance to experiment with different pairings/groupings of actors.

SCRIPT
lf you would like to read the play before auditioning, the script is on reserve at the Arts Desk, 5th floor
Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street, and at the Community Desk of the Toronto Public Library Cedarbrae
Branch, at 545 Markham Road in Scarborough.

and resourceful when danger calls.

accent). Pamela is a good middle-class English lass who insists on law,
order and propriety. Margaret is a Scottish farm-wife looking for romance.

Clown #1 & Clown #2
The clowns are two males, (or maybe 1 male 1 female) who supply all of
the other characters in the play. Characterizations range from policemen,
aristocrats, spies, farmer and farmer's wife, and of course, mnemonic
genius, Mr. Memory., Both roles require a lot of physical activity and quick
costume changes, plus a variety of voice characterizations and accents.
