AUDITION NOTICE: The Narcissist - Gold Coast Little Theatre (GCLT)

Title: The Narcissist

Presented By: Gold Coast Little Theatre (GCLT)

Genre: Contemporary Comedy

Synopsis: Xavier Playfair is a sharp-tongued, self-absorbed urban professional staring down the barrel of middle age in inner-city Brisbane. His best friend Bronwyn, a bold and boozy co-conspirator, challenges him to a outrageous bet: six weeks to “bag a man” — no ifs, no buts, no limits, no boundaries, no rules.What follows is a riotous and politically incorrect comedy of manners, as Xavier, Bronwyn and their circle tumble through hookups, games, ego battles and emotional landmines. The Narcissist skewers vanity, desire and midlife crisis with razor wit, big personalities and plenty of alcohol-fuelled honesty, all set in a self-consciously contemporary Brisbane apartment.

Available Roles / Character Breakdown:

Xavier Playfair

• Playing age: 30–45

• A sharp, self-absorbed, razor-witted urbanite facing a looming midlife crisis. Charming, cynical, and obsessed with his own image, but riddled with insecurity underneath.

Bronwyn Moyet

• Playing age: 30–45

• Xavier’s best friend and verbal sparring partner. Bold, boozy, and unapologetically chaotic, with a love of confrontation and biting humour that masks deeper disillusionment.

Satchel Strongbow

• Playing age: 25–35

• “The City’s Most Eligible Barista.” Flamboyant, metrosexual, fashion-forward and theatrical, Satchel is the life of the party and an astute observer of everyone else’s mess.

Jesse Jardine

• Playing age: 30–45

• Smooth, sexy and self-assured; appears to have it all together until cracks appear. Magnetic and charismatic, with ambiguous motives. Loves women… and men.

Y’landa Scrivener
