FORTINBRAS CAST

First of all, thank you to all who showed up at the Audition - all read well. Like I've said before, this play could be cast 3 or 4 different ways and it would be a great show. This particular order has been shaped by the following factors: 1) schedules & conflicts 2) the audition 3) casting according to (or against) type. Keep in mind also that this script is a work in progress and that lines will be cut or added as needed. Several of these roles are double cast, so wherever you see 2 names for 1 role, that means 2 performances for each actor (except the Maidens.) Please come by the Drama Room to get scripts and rehearsal schedules.
Please note that we're trying to have a first reading of the play on Friday right after school in the Drama Room. Let me know ASAP if you can't be there.
