The Audition I knew there was something unusual about Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch right from the start. I don't want to see any good acting. What a relief. I am there most of the day, first with the potential lovers and then with the mechanicals because they can't make up their minds whether I am a mechanical or a lover. I wonder what the hell Julian and Phelim are looking for.
Some people look good even though they are trying to be bad.
Others were bad. I couldn't tell. The next day I am offered the part of a mechanical lover called Flute. My stomach turns. I had no inclination to play.
