Shaffer Squared
White Liars and The Public Eye
by Peter Shaffer
28th April to 1st May 2010
Two dramas
White Liars tells the story of Sophie Lemberg, an eccentric and disillusioned fortune teller living in a decaying seaside resort, and the two young men — Tom, the lead singer in a rock band, and Frank, his business manager — who consult her.
It soon becomes clear that their lives are much stranger than the fiction Sophie tries to create in her magic ball.
The Public Eye concerns Julian Cristoforou, an eccentric private detective.
He has been hired by Charles, a stuffy old accountant, to spy on his young wife Belinda whom he believes is having an affair - which she is - after a fashion.
In a startling encounter when all three meet by chance, the bizarre truth is revealed and the story turned upside down.
Auditions
9th February 2010
2 Good Plays, 6 Great Characters and 2 Eager Directors in need of actors.
Beaconsfield Theatre Group is staging an evening of two, one act, plays written by Peter Shaffer (Equus, Amadeus).
The plays are “White Liars” and
“The Public Eye”.
They are both 3 handed plays, with great characters and dialogue.
Each play requires 2 men and a woman.
We are in need of actors looking for a challenge; each character is quite large in scope.
The Public Eye – Synopsis:
This is a charming and humorous piece, navigating the way through a challenge to a marriage seemingly brought on by a mysterious stranger.
Charles Sidley hires a firm of private investigators to spy on his wife whom he thinks is having an affair.
Characters:
Charles Sidley: 40+, accountant, confident, urbane if a little oblivious to romance.
Belinda Sidley: 20+ (20 years younger than her husband, Charles), appealing, slightly girlish, has much more depth than her husband realises.
Julian Christoforou: 30+, slightly eccentric, (Mediterranean preferred but not essential), charismatic, odd, needs good subtle sense of comedy.
White Liars – Synopsis:
Tom and his manager visit a fortune-teller on the pier in the resort they are performing at. The resulting consultations open cans of worms revealing truths long hidden.
Characters:
Sophie Lemberg: 45 to 60, flamboyant, extravagant, charming, disappointed.
At the end of her rope, at the end of her luck, at the end of a pier.
An unfortunate fortune teller, slight Austrian/German accent.
Tom: 20s, lead singer in a touring rock band. No singing required but a passable Yorkshire accent is essential as well as received pronunciation.
Frank: 20s/30s, Tom’s manager, middle class, decent bloke if a little desperate.
