AUDITIONS – THE RAFT by Carl Nixon
Directed by Duncan Smith

Downstage Theatre is proud to present Carl Nixon’s The Raft as part of its 2009 Season One programme.

We are inviting actors aged around 25 – 35 to register their interest in auditioning for the characters "Tonia Alymer" and "Mark Alymer".

The Raft is a bold drama set over a rainy weekend in a West Coast bach.  Carl Nixon’s story of a devastating family tragedy and it’s appalling consequences on relationships.  It is strong, gripping and brings you – at times – close to tears.

"A trump card, giving us an evocative and haunting, new New Zealand work that is rendered as marvellous theatre"  Alan Scott, The Press
