BARD FICTION

Honor. Betrayal. Foot rubs. Shakespeare and Tarantino collide once again as Commedia Beauregard brings this Elizabethan retelling of Pulp Fiction back to Chicago! Performed in verse. Bard Fiction follows the seedy characters of Tarantino’s opus, now part of London’s underworld, in seemingly disparate plotlines that merge in unexpected ways.

Commedia Beauregard is looking for 5 actors (M & F) of various types to join the cast of Bard Fiction. Men and women of any age (18+), ethnicity and body-type are invited to audition. Women who can play Columbian and men who can play Italian-American encouraged to apply. All actors will play multiple roles.
