After Magritte by Tom Stoppard, directed by Dominic Sandford, needs five actors: Reginald Harris (man, 25 to 40), Thelma Harris (woman, 25 to 40), Mother (woman, 40 to 60), Inspector Foot (man, 30 to 50) and PC Holmes (man, 40 to 50). A read-through takes place at 7:30pm on Wednesday 18 November 2026, and auditions on Wednesday 25 November 2026, at The Warehouse Theatre, Brewery Lane. Auditions are open to anyone and no lines need to be learned; another time can be arranged with the directors. Rehearsals run twice a week from the first week of January.
