Boris Johnson: acting skills required

A job advertisement:

We are looking for someone to play BORIS JOHNSON in KNIGHT ON A BIKE, a new 15 minute musical written by one of the students on the MA [course] in Musical Theatre at Goldsmiths College. The show is based on the true event of Boris saving a woman he saw being mugged by two teenagers. The musical is a quirky romantic comedy in which most of Boris' lines are taken from things the real person has actually said!

All performers need to be good movers, on the ball and should have an interest in contributing to the development of this new piece.

AUDITIONS: Auditions will be held on Thursday 18th MARCH at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

REHEARSALS: Fri 19th-Thurs 25th March (times to be arranged).

PERFORMANCE: The performance will take place on Thurs 25th March at Goldsmiths College.

Further information: contact director Benet Catty (www.benetcatty.com)

Sounds like a job for, well, Boris Johnson. But is he a "good mover"? Is he "on the ball"? Hmm.
