HALLOWELL — The Gaslight Theater has announced that auditions for “No Sex Please, We’re British” will be held at 6 p.m. on March 24 and 25 at Hallowell City Hall auditorium. The production, which will be directed by Richard Bostwick, needs four women and seven men between the ages of mid-20s to 50s. The auditions will involve directed cold readings from the script and may be followed by some improvisation.

“No Sex Please, We’re British” was written by Anthony Marriott and Alistair Foot and is about a young bride who lives above a bank with her husband who is the bank’s assistant manager. She innocently mail orders Scandinavian glassware, but receives Scandinavian pornography. The plot revolves around what is to be done with the veritable flood of pornography, photographs, books, films and eventually girls that threaten to engulf this happy couple. The matter is considerably complicated by the man’s mother, his boss, a visiting bank inspector, a police superintendent and a muddled friend who does everything wrong in his reluctant efforts to set everything right, all of which works up to a hilarious ending of closed or slamming doors. This farce ran in London over eight years and also delighted Broadway audiences.

Production dates are June 14 through 23. For more information, email RDBostwcik@Yahoo.com or GaslightTheater@Yahoo.com.
