'Relative Values' - Read through and auditions

'Relative Values' by Noel Coward - Pump House Theatre 27th-30th May 2015

A Noel Coward classic “Relative Values” directed by Laurence Conway. Laurence is a long standing member of the group who has directed many successful plays with Belmont and other local groups. A man in demand and we are delighted that Laurence is onboard for a Noel Coward treat.
Relative Values highlights the absurdity of the upstairs/downstairs divide. The Earl of Marshwood plans to marry the flamboyant Hollywood film star Miranda Frayle but it transpires that the long time maid to the Earls mother is in fact Miranda’s older sister. Chaos ensues. Noel Coward, in this deliciously devised comedy has some delightful situations, with some priceless one-liners and running jokes.

RELATIVE VALUES – a comedy by Noël Coward

The play has the ten characters listed below.

Ages shown are as given in the script but there is a large degree of flexibility:
Crestwell, the butler (middle fifties)

Alice, the housemaid (about eighteen)

Felicity, Countess of Marshwood (fifties)

Mrs Dora Moxton, known as Moxie (forty-six): Felicity’s lady’s-maid

The Honourable Peter Ingleton, Felicity’s nephew (anywhere between thirty-five and fifty)

Admiral Sir John Hayling (about sixty) and his wife Lady Cynthia Hayling (fifties): family friends

Nigel, Earl of Marshwood (about thirty-five): Felicity’s son

Miranda Frayle, famous actress in American movies: now Nigel’s fianceé (age not given but needs to look in her thirties)

Don Lucas, frequent co-star of Miranda, and, until recently, also romantically involved with her (late thirties)
