Audition Notice: Angry Priest

Audition Notice: My Father’s Escape from Hitler and Stalin and the Consequences of it for Me

Old Angry Priest
A man close to 60 who was born into a family of 14 children and never got the love/attention he needed from his mother. He got her back when he had a girlfriend at 20 as if saying “I don’t need you mother; I have another who loves me and only me”. Unfortunately, he caught the woman cheating on him. He could never erase the image from his psyche. He did not become a priest because he was called to this vocation by God but because he closed himself off to all women holding secret resentment towards them for years. In a small village he is desired by some women. He denies himself and hates them so much he actually asks to be moved from one parish when a woman tried to befriend him. When he has been a priest for 30 years the opposite situation happens. He meets a woman, Grace, he finds irresistible sexually but has no clue how to act. He invents a story that it is Grace who is attracted to him and rejects her. The woman is totally surprised since he means nothing to her. When she goes to ask him for charity he explodes on her all of his anger and resentment towards the opposite sex crushing her.

Priest: “ You only come to church because you want to have sex with me. You desire me. You’re a dirty despicable woman; trying to seduce a priest!!!!!! Women like you deserve to be strangled! Here’s what you’ve asked for.”

He moves his hips and 3 black snakes like smoke come out of his hips hissing, ready to bite her as he laughs like the devil.
