This spring, the Marlowe Youth Company will be working alongside The Marlowe People’s Company to launch The Marlowe Kit, our new building, with a production of two plays by Aphra Behn.

The Marlowe Youth Company will present The Emperor Of The Moon, a cosmic and comic farce written in the style of Commedia Dell’Arte.

The Marlowe People’s Company will present The Rover, Behn’s infamous play about love and lust in the heat of the carnival.

The performances will take place in The Marlowe Kit between 24-29 March 2018 and this year participants aged 14-21 are welcome to audition for The Emperor Of The Moon and participants aged 18+ are welcome to audition for The Rover.

Auditions for both productions will take place at the following times, in the Marlowe Kit:

Tuesday 5 December, 6.30-9.30pm – The Rover auditions.

6 December, 5-7pm –  The Emperor Of The Moon auditions.

Thursday 7 December, 5-7pm – The Emperor Of The Moon auditions.

To book an audition slot or for more information about the plays, characters, or Marlowe Kit, please contact MLWParticipation@marlowetheatre.com

Please also contact us if you are interested in getting involved in the backstage side of the production or if you can’t make any of the audition dates but would still like to be involved.

If you haven’t taken part in an audition before then please do not worry about coming along. You won’t need to prepare anything for The Emperor Of The Moon auditions and there is a small bit of text for The Rover auditions, but you do not have to learn it.
