Lead Actor Job in A Tale of Two Cities (world premiere adaptation), Male, Age 30-45 - Sydney Carton

Sydney Carton is a brilliant but dissipated English barrister, a man of sharp intellect and cynical wit who squanders his talents on drink and idleness, viewing himself as a hopeless "wastrel" with no purpose or future.
