Audition Notice - Vocation by Lucy Miles
Audition - Sunday 28th June (call backs 29th June)
Playing dates - 9th-12th September*
Rehearsals to start 14th July
What does vocation mean in a changing NHS? Find out in this bittersweet and relevant comedy. Old School Surgery is a chaotic GP practice, struggling to meet the needs (and demands!) of its patients, and run by an overstretched but committed workforce who sometimes adopt unorthodox strategies to cope. Enter Kiera – an idealistic trainee doctor who is excitedly embarking on a career in general practice…
We are really excited to be staging the latest play written by Lucy, a practising doctor, which has been workshopped and further developed over recent months with the support of various members of the Archway family.

Delilah (Dr Delilah Savidge), female - GP, early-mid 40’s
Nik (Dr Nik Ghai), male - GP, mid-late 30’s

*Please note an intended additional single performance on the evening of Tuesday 15th September at Guildford Fringe Festival. We may also be given a slot for a performance at the Lambeth Fringe Festival in late September. We are therefore looking for actors who are prepared to cover 15th September and potentially a performance later on in September, although there is some flexibility around this aspect
