Day & Knight Casting Call

We are looking for actors for our piece titled ‘Day & Knight’, which centers around a fictional comedy double act who are reunited through surprising circumstances. Where we get a retrospective look at their illustrious careers through the eyes of those that admire them most. 

This piece is a love-letter to the British comedy of yester-year, and themes like grief, family and friendship are also explored, because where there’s laughs, there’ll also be tears.

This production will be a PAID opportunity.  

Here is a short summary of roles available, however during the auditioning process, more information will be given about each role and the project to help any potential talent.

The roles we’re looking to fill are – 

Des Day – (Male, 55-65, Baritone/Tenor, confident dancer) Des is one half of the beloved double act, Day & Knight. A fumbler, Des is a warm, well meaning man who lives his life in the shadow of regret. A sparkling career passed him by, and the echoes of what were once dreams are nothing more than a constant reminder of how he lost touch with his best friend, Ben.

Young Des Day – (Male, 18-25, Baritone/Tenor, confident dancer) Young Des is a dynamic, confidence filled performer, who relies far too much on his talents.  A borderline lazy yet charismatic lad with bags of energy.  His bravado is to deflect but to also instill confidence in those around him.

Young Ben Knight – (Male, 18-25, Tenor, confident dancer) Young Ben is a timid, inward lad who doesn’t realise just how good he is. Spurred on by his supportive mother in the absence of his father, Ben is a dreamer and always wants a challenge, even if he can’t always see how he’ll overcome them.
