Casting Overview

Casting for "BEHIND CLOSED DOORS" a new original stage play written by Andrew Parris.

"Behind Closed Doors" is a powerful new drama exploring domestic abuse, perception, and truth within the justice system.

Synopsis: Behind Closed Doors follows the unraveling of a seemingly ordinary relationship, as moments once dismissed as private begin to surface under public scrutiny. Through shifting perspectives, fractured memories, and quiet moments of truth, the play explores love, loyalty, and the devastating consequences of what goes unseen, asking who is believed, who is protected, and what happens when silence speaks louder than words.

We are seeking committed, engaging actors to join a collaborative ensemble. This is a challenging, inclusive piece dealing with sensitive material handled responsibly and in collaboration with charities. If you’re looking for work with depth, urgency, and heart, we would love to hear from you.

Auditions, rehearsals and performances will be held in Bristol.

This profit share production will premiere in summer 2026.

Performances will be filmed, so actors will be allowed to use the content for their showreel.
