Content

SKINNY BOY is a charged, visceral drama that explores a mother at her wit’s end as she tries to get her sick son to eat food.

A mother at her tipping point. Dinnertime in Wolverhampton, 2001. Cooking dinner for her dying mother and family, arguing with her brother on the phone — and worst of all: her son hasn’t been eating at all.

SKINNY BOY is about the stress that an eating disorder can put on a family: a mother that isn’t prepared for such stress; a son that can’t even figure out why he’s not eating at all.

🚨 VERY IMPORTANT 🚨
All 3 roles MUST have or be able to do a West Midlands accent.
Actors that have a show reel / voice reel that demonstrate a West Midlands accent are preferred

Mother

Content

We're casting for a woman to play the role of the Mother. Interested in seeing named talent for this role.

We're looking for someone who can do a West Midlands accent.

She’s mid forties and wears chic clothes — but you’d never notice those clothes because the first thing you notice is how harried she is.

She walks a tightrope of being loving and completely losing her temper. She’s capable of simmering, silent anger and apoplectic rage — then going straight back to a powerless crying of a woman who feels like she is on the treadmill of life.
