Othello: A Woman's Story, Cape Town

Women 19 - 55 Years old, Western Cape

We are holding auditions for a brand new ALL FEMALE production of Othello. Before auditioning there are a few things to take note of.
This is an ALL FEMALE cast and actresses should know that the traditional male characters shall be portrayed as female. You will thus have to be comfortable with same-sex relationships as well as possibly kissing on stage.

Only the following 3 roles are still available:

1) Othello - Black woman
- Preferably taller than 170cm.
- Age 27- 40 (Must look older than Desdemona, so if you can play/look older do still audition.)
- Can have any hair type - long, short, or even dreadlocks.

2) Emilia - White or Asian Transgender Woman (You have to have transitioned from male to female. This is very important, because it is an all-female cast.)
- Any height.
- Age 25-35 (Must look older than Desdemona, so if you can play/look older do still audition.)
- Long hair. (Blonde, brown, or red hair if actress is white.)

3) Cassio - White or Asian woman
- No taller than 166cm.
- Age 19 – 24 (Actress can be older but must look the age.)
- Short hair or willing to cut for performances. Any colour hair..
