Available Roles

Some of these characters may be cast gender-blind:

MOLLIE RALSTON is a tall, pretty young woman with an ingenuous air, in her twenties

GILES  “He is a rather arrogant but attractive young man in his twenties”

CHRISTOPHER WREN He is a rather wild-looking neurotic young man. His hair is long and untidy and he wears a woven artistic tie. He has a confiding, almost childish manner. 

MRS. BOYLE  She is a large, imposing woman in a very bad temper.

MISS CASEWELL She is a young woman of a manly type

MAJOR METCALF is a middle-aged, square-shouldered man, very military in manner and bearing.

  1. PARAVICINIHe is foreign and dark and elderly with a rather flamboyant moustache. He is a slightly taller edition of Hercule Poirot, which may give a wrong impression to the audience. He speaks with a slight Italian accent.

SERGEANT TROTTER is a cheerful, commonplace young man with a slight cockney accent.

The church is on the corner of Talbot and Canon in Point Loma. Drive in the
church parking entrance where you will be greeted by a theatre usher, and assisted with parking instructions. Then enter the theatre lobby, where you may relax until called for your audition in the theatre.
