In a remote chalet in the French Alps, Daniel Corban, has reported his wife’s disappearance to the police. Soon after, a young priest delivers his wife alive and well. But is she his wife? Daniel doesn’t recognize her. Who is this woman? Why does no one believe Daniel’s story? Is this a conspiracy to drive him mad? Why? Just who is telling the truth and to what lengths can a person go to distort the facts?

REQUIREMENTS

Please prepare a 1-2 minute monologue. You may also be asked to do a cold-read from the script, so it is best to familiarize 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 time period so we have a chance to experiment with different pairings/groupings of actors.

SCRIPT

If you would like to read the play before auditioning, the script will be on reserve at the Performing 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.
