SYNOPSIS
Foundering a little after the death of his elderly (and domineering) mother, Manley Carstairs, a self-styled literary artist, engages a housekeeper, Annie Dankworth, to look after his large Victorian house (and himself).
When Annie first arrives, wearing sneakers and carrying her belongings in a supermarket trolley, Manley is taken aback, but as she seems so eager to please, he decides to employ her. The relationship between the pair progresses rapidly from initial reserve to active hatred. Annie is an eccentric oddball. She insults her employer, denigrates his writing, admits she forged her references, accuses him of lusting after her and in general, makes his life hell.
What follows is a series of fast-paced scenes, some in the present, some in the past culminating in an unexpected conclusion.
It is expected auditionees will have read the script in full and will provide their own interpretation at audition.

MEET STEPHEN -
Stephen returns to the stage for the first time since 2019, when
he last performed at the 1812 Theatre in Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, directed by Justin Stephens. His extensive Melbourne credits include God of Carnage, 33 Variations, Outside
Mullingar, Moonlight & Magnolias, Buying the Moose, The
Farnsworth Invention, Arcadia, and Proof, among many others.
Beyond acting, Stephen has contributed as an assistant director, sound designer, and set builder. He has also participated in One Act Play festivals, the Melbourne Fringe Festival, and The Comedy Festival. Stephen is thrilled (and a bit nervous) to be back on stage with this incredible ensemble.
