Details:

'Ice-Cream Dreams' is a story about the reality of following a dream, only to discover it to not be as imagined. It is a story about lonliness, and how just the smallest gesture or moment of clarity can change your perception on life, or at least help you to pick yourself up. It is a dramatic piece, with elements of black comedy.

'Ice-Cream Dreams' (ICD) begins with Ice-Cream Man (ICM) passionlessly serving ice-cream to kids, before slumping into his driving seat to enjoy a beer and cigarette. After work he returns home to his messy caravan, and spends the evening reciting his extensive inner monologue to his pet goldfish (Tuco), drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and watching television, before repeating his daily cycle again. After once again returning from work, he begins to speak about his potential suicide attempts, entering his spare bedroom to reveal his walls covered in surreal ways of ending his life. Later that evening after pouring his heart out to Tuco, he drunkenly passes out, falling forward and knocking Tuco's bowl over on the floor. ICM awakes the next morning to discover what he has done, causing him great grief and after angrily lashing out in his home, he calms down and gives Tuco a send off before flushing him down the toilet. He gets into his ice-cream van for work, but as he gets to his plot, he contemplates ending his life more than ever. However an old friend fortunately knocks at his window, in a chance encounter, and pays a genuine interest in him and suggests extended interaction and a meet up. This sparks a new enthusiasm for life, as he finally leaves the ice-cream van to see the world in a new light. He had his gun in possession as he had planned to kill himself, and he throws it into the sea, however the gun accidently discharges and ICM is ironically shot in the stomach.

Mid to late 30's. Claire is aproachable, attractive and engaging. She is a good mother, and it is her kindness and genuine interest in Ice-Cream Man that causes him to consider the notion that its not all bad.

Audtions are unfortunatly short notice, or a taped audtion would be acceptable. Please contact for information, auditions will be this weekend.
