AUDITION – Tuesday 24th March 2026 at 7:30 pm
Ken Ludwig’s Moriarty. A New Sherlock Holmes Adventure
by Ken Ludwig
Directed Andrew Thomson
The game’s afoot and WWLT are in need of five talented actors (male and female) to bring the latest Sherlock Holmes mystery to life. In addition to Mr Holmes and Dr Watson, the three other actors will be required to play no less than 25 roles between them. So be warned, this is not an audition for the faint hearted… but it is an audition for those who will love the opportunity to play a wide range of characters. Oh, and did we mention it’s a comedy? And quite a silly one at that. So you have been warned.
Audition pieces are available, however the audition process will also include some fun improvisation with the range of characters.
Please feel free to contact Andrew Thomson or assistant director Clayton Williamson for more information.
