Because our full script only contains one scene and is relatively short, we gave this full version to the auditionees ahead of time (which can be seen in the 'Script draft two' blog), in the hope that they learned the lines as best they could in the timeframe they had. Having one character in the opening meant that each person who auditioned would do so on their own and not part of a group. This was good for us because it meant we were able to focus on singular people at any given time and didn't have to alternate between people, in fear that one or two participants may not get the attention they had hoped for in order to get the part.
To get the word out, we sent emails around the sixth form, inviting all who were interested to come to a particular room at break or lunch the following week. We invited people a week prior to the audition so that they would have time to prepare, in case they wanted anymore specifics on the process and also in the hope that other students would inform any people who they thought fitted our needed criteria.
