NORPA has announced the cast who will light up the company’s much-anticipated show Wildskin, set to take audiences on a thrilling ride at Lismore Showground in September.
Five wildly-talented performers: Cass Duell, Melia Naughton, Kate Foster, Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal, and Sara Browne make up the all-Northern Rivers cast along with a local creative team and crew. A destination theatre event, Wildskin will transform a warehouse space at Lismore Showground into an outrageous and unpredictable world that’s part bush-thriller, part road-trip and a whole lot of NORPA’s signature theatrical style.
The cast was finally selected following an extensive audition process that attracted forty local applicants, twenty of whom were invited to the first round of auditions in March.
Wildskin director and NORPA’s Artistic Director, Julian Louis, says together this multi-talented cast will help create and embody the story of Eva, who believes the only way to mend her broken life is to go on the road, solo. ‘Along the way she encounters wild characters and finds herself in all sorts of confronting situations, sometimes absurd and sometimes dangerous.’
‘The work is very physical, and shifts quickly, and requires a skilled ensemble cast who play multiple roles. Each member of the cast and the creative team brings different skills and ideas to the work. I’m so excited to revisit this work with this group, and translate Wildskin into an edgy warehouse setting.’
From the director who brought you Love for One Night at the Eltham Hotel, NORPA’s Wildskin at Lismore Showground is a thrilling night of daring and joyous theatre. Wildskin roars into the Lismore Showground from 12-28 September for a limited season only, with tickets selling fast through norpa.org.au.
