The New Zealand Broadcasting School is looking for three actors for a short 7-minute live multi-camera drama.
Set in a retirement home, this piece views an elderly man struggling to come to terms with his new living conditions. While plotting to escape, the piece progresses as a younger woman begins to attempt to connect with the man but ultimately fails as he lashes out at her. As she moves into the next room to speak with the Doctor, the elderly man overhears them discussing his condition- Alzheimer’s- and that he is getting worse.
The roles available are as follows the crew would like to emphasise that at this point they are focussing on looking for an actor to voice the doctor:
Elderly Man, Maurice Deans (60+): Male, strong lead actor, capable of realistic monologues.
Woman/Nurse, Lynn Deans (20-40): Female.
Doctor McKenzie (20-40): Male, Dominant with a strong voice, has minimal screen-time.
