AUDITIONS FOR MOVE OVER, MRS. MARKHAM

By Ray Cooney and Johnathan Chapman

Directed by Jay Newman

Performances at the Pumphouse Theatre – October 3rd to 11th, 2014

When Philip Markham, loving husband and children’s book publisher, agrees to allow his business partner to borrow his fl­at to romance his latest girlfriend – well, that’s when everything goes topsy turvy as only a classic bedroom farce can and Morpheus Theatre’s 20th season has officially begun. All Philip really wants to do is take his wife out for the evening and the conundrums ensue as a parade of lovers begins to arrive to what they believe is an empty apartment, perfectly suited for their planned revelries. Cancelled plans, couples not expecting anyone else to be home and the unexpected arrival of a popular children’s book author promise to delight, and don’t worry, once you have your ticket booked that seat is yours, no one else will ask to borrow it.

In 1972, a break-in was foiled at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel in Washington DC. Within days a connection had been made with the White House and President Nixon’s closest aides. It unleashed one of the greatest scandals in modern American politics and ended with Nixon’s humiliating resignation.

David Frost’s interviews with Richard Nixon drew the largest audience ever for a news interview. Could this British talk-show host, with no known political convictions and a playboy reputation, be the one to elicit an apology from the man who committed one of the biggest felonies in American political history?_

Cast of Characters:

RICHARD NIXON: (M, 50s-60s) 37th President of the United States, the first to resign from office following the Watergate scandal. Three years later, in 1977, he lives in seclusion in California hoping to rehabilitate his career.

DAVID FROST: (M, late 30s-early 40s) British talk-show host with programs on three continents and a playboy reputation. Having lost his show in America, he hopes an exclusive interview with Nixon will launch him back into the limelight.

JIM RESTON: (M, late 20s-early 40s) American university lecturer and staunch critic of Nixon. He joins David Frost’s team as a researcher and acts as a narrator to events.

JACK BRENNAN: (M, 30s-40s) Nixon’s Chief of Staff and loyal supporter, a tough negotiator in setting up the interview with Frost.

JOHN BIRT: (M, late 30s-early 50s) Head of Current Affairs at London Weekend Television (LWT) and Frost’s producer.

SWIFTY LAZAR: (M, late 30s-early 50s) Legendary Hollywood agent representing Nixon, brokers the deal with Frost securing an unprecedented $600,000 for the interview.

CAROLINE CUSHING: (F, 20s-late 30s) David Frost's girlfriend, who begins seeing Frost as the interview negotiations begin.

BOB ZELNICK: (M, 30s-40s) Veteran American reporter, well known in the Washington scene and a key member of Frost’s team.

ENSEMBLE: (M&F, all ages) Various characters including Frost's guests, Nixon's aides, secret service, interns, make-up artists, and others as needed to flesh out the world of the show.
