Chapter 1

The door opened and an oversized man, dressed in a light grey suit and open-necked blue shirt, stepped into the room where John and the others were waiting to learn their fate. Simon Wells, the driving force behind Shakespeare in Prospect, smiled at his audience of expectant faces, and held up the envelope in his right hand for all to see.

This was the moment in the auditioning process John didn't enjoy. He didn't mind doing whatever it was that Simon asked him to do when he was trying out for a role, but he hated missing out on parts he'd set his heart on performing. And, this year, John had set his heart on playing Hamlet, having endured a minor role in the previous year's performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Simon opened the envelope with a flourish, as he did every time, and read out the names of the actors he'd selected for roles in this year's Shakespeare. The room filled with gasps of delight and excited sounds of congratulation.

John stood in shock. He hadn't even been selected for a minor role, let alone the one he'd coveted. He looked around the room. Several faces told him he was not alone in his disappointment. Charlie, Jeremy, and Catherine, who'd all had parts in A Midsummer Night's Dream, had missed out as well. The four of them had been the mainstays of the company over the last few years and John wondered what Simon was up to, but he knew now wasn't the time to ask him.

The actors gathered in the rehearsal room spontaneously split into two groups. The happy players with parts to learn clustered around Simon to listen to his instructions concerning the rehearsal schedule. The disappointed, like John, drifted to the far corner of the room, collected their things and made their way to the bar next door to the theatre to commiserate and complain about being overlooked.

It wasn't as if any of them depended on acting for a living. After all, Simon's venture, Shakespeare in Prospect, relied on amateur performers and they'd drifted into it in order to pursue their love of the theatre. The only person that made any money out of it was Simon, and even he didn't get to pocket much after production costs.

John listened as the others discussed their disappointment and knew their pain, like his, was more about ego damage than anything else. He also knew, that after the initial disappointment had faded, they'd be pitching in and doing things behind the scenes, like they always did, to make the production a success so that there would be a play to act in next year.

But that knowledge did little to soothe his bruised ego, and he wondered what other opportunities might come his way while he waited for next year's auditions, because a year was a long time to wait for his next acting fix.

After several rounds of drinks, the unhappy players went their separate ways, promising each other that they’d catch up again in several weeks when Simon called them in to work on the sets.
