GERBILS IN A GLASS CAGE

Gerbils in a Glass Cage, written by Rosaline Ting has been given a R&D grant by the Arts Council and had a rehearsed reading at Tara Arts in June 2011.

We are now bringing it to the next stage: a scratch production at The Space on 10th February.

Casting is open for the part of LEE AUN.

LEE AUN – female, 46 year old Chinese woman (possibility of actress being in early to late thirties). Flamboyantly dressed with lots of jewellery. Loud, brash, with a sense of humour but domineering. Speaks English with a Singaporean accent. She also uses gestures and the odd words of Hokkien dialect, in typical Singaporean fashion.


Rehearsal dates are from 30th of January to 10th of February 2012 (2 weeks full-time).

Pay: 300£ per week (this includes expenses)


Short synopsis of the play: Lee Sar harbours a secret desire of fulfilling a life-long dream. Now is the time to break free. But her sister Lee Aun arrives in London with disturbing news from Singapore and coerces her to return to her homeland. With it will come money, but will Lee Sar be forever bound to her past and never gain her freedom?
Laced with humour, this moving new play reveals fascinating aspects of Chinese culture with universal echoes.
