Parts

[leonato]

I've just been offered the part of Doctor Rank in The Doll's House, which from what little I know of Ibsen sounds like a very good part, so I'm a happy boy.

Itr makes up for my unusually high rejection rate this term (5 from 11 so far). Some seem to have gone missing without trace (Loves Labours Lost? Troilus? Guys and Dolls?) Ho hum. But with two parts so far I shouldn't complain.

Sounds like quite a good rejection rate to me -- when I used to do the Cambridge audition round I didn't ever even get offered a part in normal plays, and I only got into operettas and the like when I knew the directors.
So yay, and go you :)

If there are lots of shows with people I know in I may have to come back and visit Cambridge at some point after all.

Though not (at least in my case) *because* you knew the directors...

I didn't get round to auditioning for Dolls House or Troilus, but I'm wondering about LLL too.

Ditto, except that just occasionally I didn't know the directors, but there I tended to assume that they'd just not had many people auditioning!

gnimmel and leonato - you are both fantastic actors, as I hope you know. Ah well, the vagaries of the Cambridge drama scene...

Thinking about it I've not really done any full-on auditions rounds since this time last year (when I was really lucky with casting). I normally focus on plays or parts of interest where I know or more likely to be cast, which probably explians an inflated (in my eyes) success rate.
