I am invited to a meeting with David, administrator Vicky Entwistle and freelance casting director, Kay Magson, to discuss the casting of the other four parts in the play now that the two main roles are sorted.At the beginning of the meeting David looks at me and smiles and says 'Isn't this exciting!' Well, yes, and I'm still continuing to pinch myself!
Kay has done her homework thoroughly and produces mugshots of actors who might be worth considering.Her knowledge of them is pretty extensive.
Between us we come up with a long list of possible actors whose availability Vicky is going to check. At that point we'll discuss the short-list.
A couple of days later I get an early morning text from David saying how come I had only one woman in the cast and wouldn't it alter the dynamic if I added another female character? It certainly would. It would throw everything up in the air!
