The Montford Park Players, North Carolina’s longest running Shakespeare Festival, is looking for directors for upcoming productions at the Asheville Masonic Temple theatre for its Montford on Broadway Series.
The productions are:
Feb. 10 – 20: The Real Inspector Hound, by Tom Stoppard – a highly enjoyable send-up of the familiar Shakespearean convention of a play within a play, The Real Inspector Hound is a parody of the stereotypical whodunit in the style of Agatha Christie. It follows two theatre critics, Birdboot and Moon, who are reviewing a typical country house murder mystery. A sure-fire hit from the author of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead!
April 14 – 24: Lysistrata, by Aristophanes – Lysistrata is a comic account of one woman’s extraordinary mission to end The Peloponnesian War. Lysistrata convinces the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace, a strategy however that inflames the battle between the sexes.
Candidates are asked to email info@montfordparkplayers.org for submission materials. Interviews will be held Saturday, Nov. 13.
