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

VINCENT ADAMS – Eccentric Frequent Guest

Content

Vincent Adams is an eccentric and mysterious regular at the hotel, fascinated by its history and seemingly completely at home among its darker stories.

He has been staying at the hotel for years and knows an extraordinary amount about its past. To begin with, Vincent appears to be little more than a harmlessly eccentric guest with an unusual obsession.

But there is something unsettling about just how much he knows.

Vincent is unpredictable, intriguing and difficult to read. He may seem odd, amusing and even charming one moment, before revealing a knowledge of the hotel that makes people question exactly who he is — and why he keeps coming back.

Seeking: A character actor with strong comedic instincts, distinctive physicality and excellent improvisation skills. Vincent should be memorable, slightly unsettling and completely unpredictable, with the ability to move seamlessly between eccentric comedy and genuine menace.
