Casting Director’s Note: “Please note that we are looking for interesting types to create this ensemble cast. All actors must use a British accent for the audition.”

SEEKING:

Mrs. Boyle:

Caucasian female, 50+, full-figured. Mrs. Boyle is an unpleasant, snobby, round woman who finds fault in everyone and everything. She is a character we love to hate. She is self-important and behaves as if she were a high society lady. Seeking an actress with a solid upper-class British accent.

Christopher Wren:

Caucasian male, Late 20s-Early 30s, attractive but not traditionally handsome. Wren is a mysterious figure with an unknown background. He is eccentric and a closeted homosexual. He attracts the sympathy of women but the ire of men. Seeking a quirky, creative actor who can make this character likeable but a little off.

Detective Trotter:

Caucasian male, Late 20s-Early 30s, handsome and charismatic. Trotter comes off as the pinnacle of efficiency when we first meet him, but is revealed to be seriously unstable by the play’s end. A damaged man who is out for revenge. Seeking a charismatic, leading-man type with a solid working-class British accent.
