We are casting 33 performers with a background in immersive theatre for a variety of roles in a large, one-night production, for a private client.

The production is themed around POWER - power as control, and power as freedom. In our story, this is the night an evil plan is being launched that will effect everyone on the planet.
Characters will be a part of the tribe who is either responsible for this sick plan, or the tribe who will smash it.

Tone: Extravagant villain's lair meets action-packed spy game.
As well as embodying the spirit of each tribe, cast make sure all assistance is given and all interactions are ‘in character’ at all times.

The guests will be encouraged to participate throughout, from very light tasks for some to more in-depth missions for the super invested. We ask characters (you) to stay for the first part of the afterparty to get the dance floor moving!

GENERAL CAST SKILLS: excellent improv, great physicality
OTHER SKILLS: guitar, acro, stage fighting

The perfect performer for us is creative and brilliantly improvisational, upbeat and positive, and loves the challenge of creating a world and interacting with a fun party crowd in character.

Title

Super Villains X 8

Content

Casting feel: Huge personalities with status, wit and presence. These are the people a Bond villain invites to dinner: extraordinarily powerful, glamorous, dangerous.

Visual ref and Energy: Bond Villainy at its finest and funnest, whilst needing to be routed in reality ie. we don't want just 1D caricatures. Think big, cigar smoking oil tycoons, nuns with guns, Jaws, Grace Jones' May Day.

The Arms Baron Charming, old-world and impeccably mannered. Treats international conflict as an excellent business environment.

The Media Empress Controls information and knows exactly what that makes her worth. Collects secrets recreationally and delights in knowing things before other people do.

The Petrochemical King Magnificently unreconstructed. Monumentally wealthy and completely comfortable with the consequences. Sees catastrophe primarily in terms of opportunity.

The Tech Prophet Mesmerising, visionary and chillingly sincere. Believes democracy and individual choice are inefficient legacy systems humanity will eventually outgrow.

The Wellness Despot Beautiful, serene and terrifying. Obsessed with longevity, optimisation and eliminating human weakness - whether humans consent or not.

The Political Fixer Doesn't run countries; decides who does. Charming, discreet and accustomed to changing the course of governments over dinner.

The Luxury Survivalist Owns compounds, islands, bunkers and escape plans for every conceivable apocalypse. Finds everyone else's concern about the future rather quaint.

The Behaviour Architect Expert in persuasion, manipulation and human weakness. Can read a guest frighteningly quickly and enjoys demonstrating it.
