AUDITIONS
Colonial Players of Annapolis
The Winslow Boy
by Terence Rattigan.
Directed by Mary Watko

All roles are open and non-paying. The show requires 11 performers
Sunday, July 21, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Monday, July 22, 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Callbacks will be by invitation only.
Wednesday, July 24, 7:00 p.m.
The Colonial Players Annex
2132 Renard Court, Annapolis, MD 21401

Show Synopsis:
The play is based on the 1908 true story of a young teenage boy attending the ‘Royal Naval College on the Isle of Wight’, an island off the south coast of England.
‘Ronnie’ is falsely accused of stealing a five-shilling postal order from a schoolmate, resulting in his immediate expulsion from the naval college,
by the Admiralty of the Navy, without trial or even a hearing of his side of the story. Denying the accusation leads to the boy’s father and sister to hire a lawyer to clear his name.
After hiring a prestigious and talented lawyer, the case becomes a sensationalized public story and involves many changes to the five members of the Winslow family,
both personally and financially. This case played a major role in discussions of the application of a Petition of Right (to be heard)
and became one of the most widely debated events in Great Britain.

Jack Trot and his mother, Dame Trot live in a village called Merrydale. Jack is in love with King Bertram’s daughter, the lovely Princess Demelza.
The village is being terrorized by the Giant who lives Up-In-The Clouds. He demands increased taxes and the hand of the Princess in marriage.
In order to pay the Giant, Dame Trot and Jack are forced to sell their cow Daisy. However, Jack is tricked by Slimeball, the Giant’s henchman,
