audition for house arrest
written and directed by iris cronin
A lonely god
A lovely girl
A missing flyer
A funeral pyre
it happens the way all stories happen
which is
to say
it doesn’t.
House Arrest is a new work, written and directed by Iris Cronin (’19). The play is a surreal, suburban, dreamlike reimagining of the myth of Hades and Persephone. A young woman, Baby’s Breath, has been taken and hidden by the Handsome Ghost, a lonely and enigmatic companion who has been visiting her since childhood. He keeps her captive in a dollhouse, held under an amnesiac spell, content and unaware of her captivity.
Until, suddenly, she starts to remember.
For more information and to sign up for an audition slot, check out the Facebook event. Auditions run September 11th to September 13th, with performances from November 30th to December 3rd.
