When: 12 March 2025, 2-5pm

Where: Coffee Room, English Department, Geiwiturm 3rd floor

What: In order to evaluate your suitability for our 2025 cast, we require you to come with the following monologue prepared:

 

BOYS: Ella Hickson (UK) 

CAM: God – it’s nice to be back here. It was fucking intense. [… ] It was – pretty amazing. I’ve never – I was really fucking nervous but… I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many people – I mean except for football matches, but … […] I was so fucking nervous, I kept having to dry my hands, I swear I was actually sweating through my fingertips and I was so worried I was going to … but you know waiting to talk out there and you can just see all those people and the lights are real bright and – fuck, my heart’s still beating like the fucking – and you stand there and you see the glint on glasses and the odd grin but not much else so you’re not really sure that they’re there and – they start clapping and man – that many people – and the noise, the noise was so loud it made the stage shake a little bit, I felt it through my feet, the clapping, it was mad. And all the moisture goes out your mouth and suddenly you’re standing in front of them and it’s dead silent and – that was sort of the best bit – just when I was about to play and my bow is just a wee way off the strings – just waiting there – hovering – and it’s there and you’re still and then you hear this little tiny noise, this little fucking seat creak and you realise that fucking hundreds of people just leant in – just a fraction – to hear what you’re going to do next – waiting for you to start. […] I did my thing. […] big old hoo-ha after. Everyone fucking talking to me and offering me shit and that guy – the Russian – […] He wants to teach me – one on one- in fucking Vienna – I don’t even know where that is! […] They all stood and clapped and – it was -it was – great. It was really really great. (Pause.) You guys are totally fucked […] Let’s fucking party!
