Title

BILLIE SHAW – Roadie Rock'n'Roll Revenge

Content

Outwardly, Billie Shaw is here to do a job.

Quiet, capable and seemingly focused on the practical demands of the tour, Billie keeps their head down and gets on with the work. They're not interested in the glamour, the drama or the egos surrounding the band.

But behind the scenes, Billie has another reason for being here.

Billie's mother died in an accident years ago, an accident Billie has never believed was simply an accident. After years of searching, Billie has finally found the person they believe is responsible.

Now Billie has a chance to get close to them.

This is a character driven by grief, anger and a desire for justice, while carefully hiding their true motives from everyone around them.

Seeking: A performer capable of playing restraint and intensity. Billie should appear grounded and understated on the surface, with the actor gradually revealing the anger and emotional weight beneath. Strong dramatic instincts, subtle characterisation and the ability to build tension are particularly important.
