We are looking for a male actor to recreate the character depicted by Rod Serling in his introductions to the original Twilight Zone TV shows. This role is one of two in an hour long play – The Terminal Zone – being staged this August as part of the 72nd World Science Fiction Convention. The Convention programme notes for The Terminal Zone are provided below:

“Fifty years ago, after five seasons, 'The Twilight Zone' finally came to an end. It is 1964, and Rod Serling is attending the wrap party for the series that took him from being a critically successful but largely anonymous screenwriter to a household name and international icon as the sharp suited gatekeeper to the 'fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man'. As Rod the writer sits amongst the debris of the party, contemplating what his future may hold, the telephone rings - and he is about to receive a very unusual visitor - one who is familiar, but may have crossed over from another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. You have just entered, the Terminal Zone.”

The Terminal Zone, by Edinburgh based author and journalist Andrew J Wilson, was originally premièred in 1993, and subsequently performed as part of the 1994 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It is being revived in a brand new production directed by the author especially for Loncon3, the 72nd World Science Fiction Convention on Sunday 24th August to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the events depicted in the play. Loncon3 takes place in the London Excel Centre and currently has a membership in excess of 4000.

We are looking for someone with the capacity to deliver an authentic American accent. An audition script for video submissions is available on request. Rehearsals will be in Edinburgh and London. Expenses will be paid.
