We'll Always Have Paris Auditions

Audition for Dolphin Theatre's first play for 2011.

Ah, Paris! The wine, the art, the music, the romance… Jill Hyem’s latest play, “We’ll Always Have Paris” is a feel-good comedy set in the city of love, about three women of a “certain age” who experience love, laughter, loss and tears, and importantly, the joys and challenges of growing old. This charming, thoughtful and thought-provoking contemporary play premiered in 2010 in Oxfordshire, England.

Cast:
The English…
Nancy: 60s. Retired headmistress, a recent émigré from England, now living in her beloved city of Paris. She is tidy, independent and in control, but is also blossoming in her new-found freedom in the city of wine, love and art.
Anna: 60s. Recently widowed – and free – after nursing a sick husband for over 20 years. Anna begins the play as a bit of a shy mouse but undergoes a lovely transformation after a short time in “gay Paree”.
Raquel: 60s. Classmate of Anna and Nancy. Used to have pigtails and buck teeth. Now (after many nips and tucks) wears tight tops, short skirts and searches for her next toy-boy.

The French…
Charlot: 50s. A Frenchman with a penchant for the English ladies. Actor by night, plumber by day, Charlot is an overall fun-loving, playful character. Charlot is divorced from his American wife, who lives back in the US with their daughter, whom he misses dearly. Charlot strums a guitar and sings a small snatch of song during the play. French accent.
Madame Boussiron: 50s. Described as a “bitch” and “wicked witch of the west” by Nancy. Upper crusty, uptight and hates the English, Madame B is a wonderful caricature of a snobby French woman. French accent.
