Show Synopsis
The play explores how consumerism has become our new value system which reduces everything else to a mere transaction, as shopping malls become the new cathedrals of Western consumerism. The plot follows a crowd of drifters and sex traders in a seedy area of London in the 1990s. Five main characters are linked loosely and intermittently and at the center of the play is an ever-changing love triangle of petty criminals.  It is a gritty, grimy urban society, a depressing microcosm of drugs, shoplifting, prostitution, and sexual adventure.  The characters have shunned morality and conduct hedonistic and destructive lives in this shocking, humorous, nihilistic play that examines a completely corrupted society.

Character Breakdown
The roles of Gary and Robbie have previously been cast. We are seeking to cast the roles of Lulu, Mark, and Brian. Actors of all ethnicities and genders (conforming and non-conforming) are encouraged to audition.

Lulu (plays late teens/early 20’s)-Down and out and desperate. Lulu says she wants to become an actress, which has not worked out. She has turned to shoplifting (TV dinners!), selling drugs, and phone sex. She will do most anything to make a buck without much regard to anyone else.

Mark (plays late teens/early 20’s)- Mark is a recovering heroin, and possibly sex, addict who was at one time fairly successful, until his habit caught up with him. Mark is the “master” of Lulu and Robbie and is the more dominant of all five characters. Just like everyone he is trying to make a buck to support his habits. Must be comfortable kissing men and with male sex scenes.

Brian (plays mid 20’s/early 30’s)- The older of the bunch, a drug dealer, possible murderer. Money obsessed. He is a master manipulator. We first meet him as he “auditions” Lulu for an infomercial, convincing her to strip down, and then giving her a job selling drugs for him.

*Although there will be no nudity in this play, ALL actors must be comfortable in their underwear as well as the sexually graphic scenes and extreme adult language in the play. It is imperative that actors research the show before committing/auditioning. If you have questions or concerns about the content, please reach out, we will be happy to discuss it with you.

ELEEMOSYNARY - Stage Left Productions - July 24-August 1, 2020



A Play by Lee Blessing

This play probes into the delicate relationship of three singular women: the grandmother, Dorothea, who has sought to assert her independence through strong-willed eccentricity; her brilliant daughter, Artie (Artemis), who has fled the stifling domination of her mother; and Artie's daughter, Echo, a child of exceptional intellect—and sensitivity—whom Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea. As the play begins, Dorothea has suffered a stroke, and while Echo has reestablished contact with her mother, it is only through extended telephone conversations, during which real issues are skirted and their talk is mostly about the precocious Echo's single-minded domination of a national spelling contest. But, in the end, after Dorothea's death, both Artie and Echo come to accept their mutual need and summon the courage to try, at last, to build a life together—despite the risks and terrors that this holds for both of them after so many years of alienation and estrangement.
