Jigsaw

Partington Players holds second auditions for Jigsaw, written and directed by Ann Cole, on Thursday 19 November 2026 from 7pm to 9.30pm. A cast of nine actors is needed for the March 2027 production, and the auditions are open to all with no experience necessary. Ages are approximate, ranging from 18+ to 70s and 80s, and the director is willing to adapt.

Roles:

• Harry (late 80s), who has Alzheimer's and has flashbacks to wartime service at the Battle of Kohima.
• Patricia (late 80s), Harry's wife, who is in ill health herself.
• Jennifer (60s), their daughter, who moves in to care for Harry.
• David (60s), Jennifer's husband.
• Young Harry (17+), a soldier in the Second World War and Patricia's sweetheart.
• Young Patricia (17+), Harry's sweetheart, waiting for him in England.
• Evelyn (any age), a home-visiting carer.
• Martin (25+), a care home carer and musician who uses music as therapy for Harry.
• Rev. McCabe (elderly), a kindly Catholic priest; an Irish accent is preferred if possible.

Two of the roles are very minor. Those interested contact the director, Ann Cole, to confirm whether a slot needs to be booked.
