Last of the Red Hot Lovers by Neil Simon
In 2003, HiT productions produced a very succesful version of this play in Sydney, starring Jackie Weaver and Max Gillies. Our director (left), Brian Fitzsimmons has worked with amateur theatre companies in Northern NSW and has been extensively involved with actor-training work mostly in the United States.

CastDirector Brian was happy to announce the cast. John Czerniecki was Barney (our Red Hot Lover aspirant), Ruth Jordon (right) played Bobbi and Jeanette, and Sally Bartley (left) played Elaine.
PlotBarney Cashman is a happily married, middle-aged New Yorker. He is proud of his very successful fish restaurant and generally quite content with his life. There’s just one thing missing: he’s never had an affair – and time is running out! So he decides to take a plunge and do something about this appalling state of affairs (or lack of them). His mother’s apartment offers him an ideal opportunity. The big question is: what sympathetic lady is going to help him realise his ambition? He manages in fact to find three – not all at the same time you might be pleased to know. The pursuit of his goal is the mainspring of what is perhaps Neil Simon’s funniest play. The (more or less) willing collaborators in his quest are the sophisticated, let’s-get-down-to-business Elaine, the psychotic, out-of-control Bobbi, and the paralysingly depressed Jeanette.

Characters
Barney is in all three major scenes and will be required at all rehearsals. He is on stage for the entire play, save a brief 10-15 second exit at only one point. Each of the women is in one scene each with Barney, and so won’t be required at rehearsal as often during the early stages of rehearsals. In some productions, the role of the women is played by one actress, for others, three individuals will be cast. In our production it's even more complex with Ruth playing two female roles and Sally playing one.
AuditionsAn Information Session was held by Brian on Thursday 5 May, 2011. The main Audition Night was Monday 9 May at 7:30pm, with callbacks held the following night (Tuesday 10 May). The Director can be contacted on 0458-281-928.
