2 men for one act play urgently required
Tue, 24 June 2003, 01:10 pmI urgently need 2 fairly attractive men! - one aged 30ish and one 50 something for a one act play at Stirling Theatre in August. If you think you might fit the bill, please call on 0412 670 449 or email me. Would love to hear from you.

To Julia Williams,
I have read your request for the 2 men and assume this is for "Fish Will Be Lovely".
I heard from an acquaintance who knows you, that you have cast the part of Elizabeth in the play. I have been wondering when you were going to call those who came along to the audition on 8th June, specifically myself, as I was the only one who auditioned for that part. If and when you finally called, if it was to offer the part to me, I had decided that I would not take it, for 2 reasons:
- the play was not really what I was looking for
- I found the audition process on June 8 very inappropriate.
You may recall on the audition day, that after quite a period of time had passed, that Christine Ellis rather abruptly asked you, "Well, what is happening Julia"? She was clearly speaking from a sense of frustration. Like Christine, I had sat there for some time, waiting for you to communicate some information about your perceptions of my reading. The fact that Peter Flanigan, and Barry Lefort, had already given their feedback to all those present, and stated who had been cast, only highlighted how lacking in communication and respect you were being towards myself and Christine Ellis. I recall you going out of the hall a couple of times, then making tea in the kitchen, without any word of response to either myself or Christine. I eventually approached you, while you remained behind the counter, and I finally asked you "had I done okay", and your response was "of course". I found your treatment that day, quite rude, dismissive, and insensitive.
I have been a member of Stirling Players for over 2 years; my involvement includes singing and acting, prompting, and backstage work. In all that time, I have never been treated the way I was on June 8, and am extremely disappointed in the way you handled this audition. I had actually thought earlier this week, to write a letter of complaint about the audition process on June 8, to Carryn Maddocks at Stirling, but have changed my mind about this now. I feel it is more approriate to direct my concerns to yourself.

Please do not phone me now, as it appears you have made your decision. I believe that all people who put time and effort into attending auditions, need to be acknowledged by a phone call back (particularly when you made quite a point of gathering my numbers). I am sure you would expect similar treatment if you attended an audition.
