ABOUT the lady vanishes
On a train in Europe, headed for England, are a mixed group of travellers. A young lady called Iris Carr is suffering from sunstroke after standing for some time on the platform awaiting the train. Once on board, she is befriended in her carriage by the kindly Miss Froy. Iris falls asleep after luncheon, and wakes to find that Miss Froy has disappeared. The other passengers ominously deny Miss Froy ever existed, so Iris begins to investigate with the help of another traveller, Max Hare. There are some distinctly suspicious characters and lots of evasive manoeuvering but, as the pair try to find answers, romantic sparks fly!
available part
The majority of the parts in this production have already been cast but we are looking for a talented gentleman to play the part of Maximilian (Max) Hare. This is the male lead of the production.
Max Hare (Lead)
Playing age: Late 20s - Late 30s
A cheerful and capable young engineer who has travelled the world.
He assists the young socialite Iris Carr in her search for Miss Froy and by the end of the play they are romantically attached.
We are looking for an RP accent. This whole play is very much in the style of the 1930s films with cut glass accents and over-the-top 'Englishness'. Think 'Murder on the Orient Express' on steroids or the style of any of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers films.
Download the section of the script we'd like you to look at below. There will be no need to memorise this, although some preparation is advised. Please remember to email us at auditons@threepenny-theatricals.org if you decide you would like to audition.
