The Audition by James Johnson at Barons Court Theatre

The Audition by James Johnson, directed by Kit Thacker and starring Olga Leon, Victoria Tyrrell, at the Barons Court Theatre, a 60-seat fringe venue in West Kensington, from 5 to 10 Feb 2013.

A story of a psychological and physical test that turns into battle. Auditioning is something any actor has done a countless number of times. Still, every time they go into a room to stand in front of a casting director or director, it is a challenge. Nobody, however, could be prepared for what happens to Lauren, a young actress who shows up to audition for Stella's play.
