Bill Worthington is on Fire (Original Audio Drama)
Sam Cousins for Jonathon McDoil
Jonathon Mcdoil is a strange individual. He spends most of his day thinking on the couch and drinking tea. Once night falls, he sits in his bed with a book and drinks tea. While he sleeps, he dreams of drinking tea. The man likes his tea! He is a British stereotype to the utmost degree and I want to hear how unrealistic of a stereotype he is in your audition. His voice is a bit deep and it commands some authority. However, he is not unkind. In my head, he almost sounds like Boris Johnson, but I encourage you to have your own interpretation. Have fun with this audition! It's dumb and it's goofy.
Jonathan: Oh don’t use that cup! I drank out of that last night. It’s filled with germs and other ickly bicklies.
(Howard begins pouring the water out of the cup)
Jonathan: What are you doing? Don’t just pour it out! Pour it on a plant. We don’t want it to go to waste
Jonathan: What was that, I couldn’t hear you. There’s this unusual shrill sound ringing in my ears.
Jonathan: Bill Worthington! On fire!
Jonathan: Oh, I knew he had more to drink than was good for him! What a sad, sad and strange world we live in. When he was drinking last night, I knew that it was really just a cry for help. He's not one to cry for help for help you know. He's a very quiet, introverted man. It must have taken such bravery to be vulnerable like that. Oh, sad, sad day!
(Pause)
Jonathan: Would you like some tea?
