Our House is a musical with a book by playwright Tim Firth, the creator of Calendar Girls. The music and lyrics are by the pop band Madness, and was named after one of their popular hit singles. The show premiered at The Cambridge Theatre in 2002 and was the winner of the 2003 Olivier award for Best New Musical. Through the music of Madness, writer Tim Firth explores the themes of love, family values, growing up, responsibility and dealing with losing the people that shape us, through a script that is packed with humour and poignancy in equal measure. The show follows the lead character, Joe Casey, through two different pathways his life could take following a single split second decision in a moment of madness and the ultimate consequences of that decision as the two worlds follow their parallel paths.
SYNOPSIS
Our House is the story of Joe Casey who, on the night of his sixteenth birthday, takes Sarah, the girl of his dreams, out on their first date. In an effort to impress her with bravado, he breaks into a building site overlooking his home on Casey Street. The audience are introduced to the spirit of Joe’s deceased Dad, who attempts to guide his life choices and help him avoid the mistakes he made. The police turn up, at which point Joe’s story splits into two – one following Good Joe, who stays to help, and the other following Bad Joe, who flees.
Good Joe, having stayed to help Sarah, is sent to a “young offender’s institute”. On release, his past prevents him from getting a good job and he struggles to make ends meet. He convinces himself that he is an embarrassment to all who care about him – especially Sarah, whose new college lifestyle studying law is complicated by her attachment to Callum, a fellow student. In an effort to keep up, Good Joe is beguiled by his “mate” Reecey into helping stage a break‐in for some easy money. He is caught and this time sent to prison.
Meanwhile, Bad Joe has lost Sarah’s affections, but is making a success of a burgeoning career selling security systems which he then instructs a lowlife “mate” called Reecey how to breach. His efforts soon pay off and he attracts the attention of Pressman, a property developer. Bad Joe is now a successful businessman and is able to swan back into Sarah’s life, sweeping her off her feet at her college dance.
Three years later, Bad Joe and Sarah get married in Las Vegas, whereas Good Joe is leaving prison and forced to sleep rough. At this point, Good Joe and Bad Joe’s worlds start to collide. Pressman wants to “redevelop” Camden by demolishing Casey Street – except Joe’s Mum refuses to leave. She says, it was given to her family because they helped build Casey Street. Good Joe vows to save the house. He enlists Sarah, now a trainee lawyer engaged to Callum, to help prove that Kath is the rightful owner.
Meanwhile, Bad Joe is called on by Pressman to help removing the occupant, which he does by arranging a break-in while his Mum is out celebrating her birthday. Reecey takes it one step further, setting the house alight. Tragically, all Kath wants to do is wait for her son to visit her. In the Bad Joe story the “successful” son returns too late, to find his Mum was in the house, waiting for him while in the Good Joe story, the “errant” son returns, holding the property deeds, to find the house burning down but his Mum safe.
Bad Joe, having now lost both Sarah and his Mum, is sent to prison as an accomplice to manslaughter. From the ashes of the house fire Good Joe is redeemed and reunited with his Mum and with Sarah, who he marries. Mr Pressman and Reecey are sent to prison for arson.
In the final beat of the show we wind back time to where we started, the moment of decision on Joe’s sixteenth birthday. When asked what he wants to do, somehow he knows now the right decision to make. He simply says “Let’s go dancing!”
CAST
JOE – Baritone/Tenor (C3-G4) – a rough diamond but a diamond nonetheless – the hero of the show. Joe is loyal to his friends and proud of his community, but is also easily led – resulting in him making some bad decisions. He loves and is proud of Sarah, but his need to show off both her and his family to the world often lands him in trouble. Physically demanding role – almost never off stage, except to change costume as both Good Joe and Bad Joe are played by the same performer, although a body double is used in a few sequences.
SARAH – Mezzo (A3-F5) – Joe’s girlfriend – “girl next door”, slightly more middle-class background. An aspiring lawyer with a “great judge of character”, Sarah is Joe’s true love. She is forgiving of, although sometimes frustrated by Joe’s mistakes and errors of judgement, believing that on the inside he is worthy.
EMMO and LEWIS – Baritone/Tenor (C3-E4) – They are Joe’s best mates, loosely related to him and taken in by Joe’s Mum. They’re always up for a laugh, but dead serious when it comes to saving Casey Street. Lewis is the sensible one of the pair with a more exposed moral nerve, looking after the more naive Emmo, who is like a big kid. They are typical “London Lads” – entrepreneurial, outgoing and always up for a drink. Good comic timing and outgoing personality required.
BILLIE and ANGIE – Alto/Mezzo (B3- E5) – Sarah’s sassy, sharp-tongued best friends. They realise that Sarah is their only hope of success so they encourage her to go to university. In the Bad Joe story, they encourage their romance, while in the Good Joe story, they steer her instead towards Callum, a fellow student – in both scenarios their eyes are on a way out of their lowly social beginnings.
KATH CASEY – Alto (with belt) (G3-C#5) – Joe’s Mum. A traditional Irish Catholic mother – worried about her family’s reputation and the upkeep of her community. She still waits for Joe’s father to return home, fondly reminiscing over their first dance. She is often beaten down by life but never beaten in spirit – a heart the size of her house with a huge, feisty love for her family.
JOE’S DAD – Baritone (Bb2-E4) – A man of fun and spirit who married the right woman but took the wrong path in life and died as a result. Once loyal to his family, Joe’s Dad was jailed for making some bad decisions – and he never returned to them afterwards. He closely follows Joe’s choices and paths, his spirit desperately hoping his son doesn’t repeat the pattern of mistakes he made.
REECEY – Baritone (C3-D#4) – One of the “villains”. A school “mate” who has turned to criminal activity to make a living. He befriends Joe and introduces him to the world of lying, stealing and cheating. On the surface he’s smiling, charming & likeable but underneath he’s force of darkness in both of Joe’s stories.
PRESSMAN – Bass/Baritone (D#3-C4) – The other “villain”. Owner of “Pressman Developments”, a contractor, aiming to demolish Joe’s family home and neighbourhood. He has no concern for the current inhabitants and doesn’t care how it happens – he will get them out. A mature version of Reecey, middle-aged and in control of a large company
OTHER CHARACTERS – schoolkids, relatives, barristers, shop assistants, prisoners, market traders, police, judges, lawyers etc – many in number and will be played by ensemble cast – at some point everyone in the cast will “have their moment”. Ensemble cast will need to be prepared for multiple and often very quick costume changes. There is also a large amount of offstage vocal backing provided by the ensemble in various numbers. Predominantly, the ensemble cast will also perform the on-stage scene changes. Ideally, we would like to cast a minimum of 4 female and 4 male ensemble.

ORIENTATION - Wednesday 13th June 2018, 7:30pm
Bankstown Arts Centre, cnr. Olympic & Dale Parades
AUDITION DATE – Sunday, 24 June 2018
To book your audition time, please email Edward Rooke - edward@bankstowntheatrecompany.com You will be allotted a time for your vocal & dialogue auditions and after each 4 auditions, there will be a collective/group movement audition. Plan to be available for one hour from the time you’re allocated. Call backs will take place during the following week, if required.
SINGING
You are required to sing a British pop ballad from the 1980s of your own choice – not necessarily a piece from the show. Those of you born after this era will be amazed at what you can find for inspiration on the net – think Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Roxy Music, Simply Red, Kate Bush, The Police, Queen, Spandau Ballet – the list is extensive. Be imaginative in your choice! Below are links are for YouTube videos of some of the songs from the show each character or ensemble performs, as originally performed by the composers, Madness, so lyrics, keys and tempos may vary. They are intended as an example only to give you a guide for your own song choice.
Principal Characters –Try to select something in keeping with the character for which you’re auditioning. We want to hear it performed with a British accent.
Ensemble –Try to select something that shows off your own character as we will need a variety of “types”. We’d like to hear it performed with a British accent. ALL of the ensemble will be doubling roles, some with vocal lines and others with just dialogue – there are over 30 “character” parts so you will be busy in this show! The vocal demands range from close harmony to raucous and party-like, so there’ll be something for everyone.
NOTE – If you require piano accompaniment for your audition, your sheet music MUST be in the correct key. A sound system will also be available on the day for digital backing tracks.
