Equity actor to play Claudius in HAMLET.
CLAUDIUS: 50s. Smart, powerful, strategic, ambitious, compelling. A man of action. On the outside a likeable guy, you’d like to have a drink with, inside he is a master manipulator who abhors weakness in others and doesn’t let himself have any in himself.
Please prepare the sides that will be emailed when appointment is confirmed. Please bring your headshot and resume stapled together.
