Audition requirements for The Venetian Twins by Nick Enright and Terrence Clarke
Director Tessa Bremner

All actors have to be able to sing and have a general mastery of dance and movement. The music is generally not too demanding, except for the role of Beatrice, which is a coloratura soprano. The show has a sense of pantomime about it based very much on stock commedia dell arte characters.
The text is tight and depends on quick silver tongue and a good sense of comedy and timing.It is a delightful piece of theatre that should be fun to perform.
