We are casting talented, confident and engaging performers for a series of immersive murder mystery weekend productions.

These productions combine scripted drama, character interaction, comedy and audience participation, with performers bringing larger-than-life characters and gripping mysteries to life across a full weekend experience.

We are looking for actors who are comfortable performing to an audience, improvising, interacting in character and working as part of an ensemble. Strong characterisation, comic timing and the ability to think on your feet are particularly valued.

The productions take place in hotel and event settings, with performances taking place throughout the weekend. Actors should be confident maintaining character both during formal performances and in more informal, interactive moments with guests.

Ideal performers:

• Strong acting and characterisation skills

• Confident, outgoing and personable

• Comfortable with audience interaction and improvisation

• Good comic timing and stage presence

• Reliable, professional and able to work collaboratively

• Experience in immersive theatre, murder mystery, dinner theatre or interactive performance is welcomed but not essential

This is an exciting opportunity for performers who enjoy character-driven comedy, live theatre and creating memorable experiences for an audience.

Fee is set at £250 for the weekend. Total hours 16.

Travel, shared accomodation (2 persons to a room) & half board meals are included.

Paid rehearsal in Liverpool at NMW for 2 hours.

Title

ELEANOR “NELL” GRAVES – Paranormal Investigator

Content

Eleanor “Nell” Graves is intelligent, passionate and deeply committed to investigating the paranormal — but don't mistake her interest in the supernatural for gullibility.

Nell takes her work seriously and is highly sceptical of mediums, performers and anyone who relies on tricks or theatrics to create a paranormal experience. She believes in evidence, investigation and finding the truth.

She also has a long-standing resentment towards Erik and his antics, making their encounters particularly charged.

Nell is confident in her beliefs and isn't afraid to challenge people when she thinks they're being dishonest. As events unfold, however, even someone as sceptical and analytical as Nell may find herself questioning what she thought she knew.

Seeking: An intelligent, assured performer with strong dramatic presence and the ability to deliver sharp, articulate dialogue. The actor should bring conviction to Nell's beliefs while balancing her scepticism, frustration and emotional history.
