Audition Notice:
It Runs in the Family by Ray Cooney
3 December 2026 at 7pm
MCRA Hall at Pierce's Corners
About the Play:
Get ready for a hilarious, fast-paced farce filled with mistaken identities, outrageous excuses, unexpected revelations and one increasingly chaotic hospital! It Runs in the Family is classic Ray Cooney comedy at its best, set in a hospital where everything is supposed to be professional and orderly – but quickly spirals into complete mayhem. When Dr. David Mortimore is preparing to deliver an important lecture, an unexpected visitor from his past turns his carefully organised world upside down. A shocking revelation sets off a chain of lies, cover-ups and increasingly ridiculous situations, as David desperately tries to keep everyone in the dark and his reputation intact. Of course, the more he tries to control things, the more everything goes spectacularly wrong!
Characters:
1. Dr. David Mortimore male role
2. Dr. Mike Connolly male role
3. Dr. Hubert Bonney male role
4. Rosemary Mortimore female role
5. Leslie male or female – young person
6. Sir Willoughby Drake male role
7. Jane Tate female role
8. Head Nurse female role
9. Nurse male or female role
10. Police Sergeant male or female role
11. Bill male role
12. Mother female role
Every character plays an important part in building the comedy. Actors should be ready for energetic physical comedy, sharp dialogue, impeccable timing and plenty of larger-than-life reactions. Above all, this is an ensemble comedy where listening, teamwork and commitment to the ridiculous circumstances are just as important as getting the laughs. Expect a lot of fun, a lot of chaos and a wonderfully entertaining theatrical challenge!
