Performance: Brighton Fringe Festival - Sunday 2 May 2027
Lots of roles available for all genders in this iconic play based on the novel by William Golding
There’s no need to prepare anything prior to our Audition Workshop. Our director Betty will introduce the play to everyone, lead some warm up games and then students will have the opportunity to work on sections of script with others. There may be some recalls to a second audition.
Lord of the Flies will be performed twice as part of the Brigthon Festival on Sunday 2 May 2027.
Rehearsals for the show will be 5-7pm on Wednesdays at Wallands School, from 14 October onwardswith some longer rehearsals 5-8pm in the weeks leading up to the show and an afternoon Dress Rehearsal on Saturday 1 May and one other full day rehearsal prior to that.
Anyone who is offered a role in the play would be required to join Kaleidoscope Youth Theatre which has a termly fee (see our Timetable page for details). There will also be a production fee of £35 to cover all costume and technical costs for the show.
We offer a low income discount and a number of FREE bursary places to allow every young person the opportunity of being in a superb show with professional standards - no matter what the family finances are.
Being involved in a Kaleidoscope show is a big commitment. Actors will be required to attend every rehearsal on Wednesday term time evenings, as well as technical and dress rehearsals later on. Actors will also need to learn their lines!
It will be a fantastic opportunity - a chance to gain acting experience at an advanced level, improve confidence and work like a professional theatre company with other young people. Participants will need 100% commitment and 100% focus during rehearsals.
Gender-Blind Casting
All roles in Lord of the Flies are open to all genders. We’ll be casting based on the strengths, personality and performance qualities of each young actor. You don’t need to fit a particular idea of what a character “should” look like - we’re looking for a brilliant ensemble to create the world of the play together.
To to book a place at Kaleidoscope's Audition Workshop please contact our artistic director, Deirdre by text or email, giving the full name and age of the young person auditioning:
