Director Catherine Davis is seeking the following:
2 women--30s-early 40s (Rose, Charlotte)
Rose—Once warm but troubled by personal tragedies and her strained marriage, she has turned proper and prudish. A woman of faith, especially after the loss of her child.
Charlotte (Lotty)--Earnest, awkward, but daring and imaginative. Browbeaten by her very particular and rigid husband.
1 woman–mid 20s-early 30s (Lady Caroline) A glamorous flapper, she has grown weary of the social whirl. She harbours secret depths of sadness.
1 woman-60s (Mrs. Fisher) Imperious, bitingly sarcastic, and inflexible Victorian era dowager who still wears black 11 years after the death of her husband.
1 woman-40s-50s (Francesca) Vibrant and comic caretaker of the Italian villa. All lines in Italian.
2 men—35-45 (Mellersh, Frederick)
Mellersh—Lotty’s uptight and controlling attorney husband.
Frederick—Charlotte’s charming but philandering husband who writes books of questionable taste. He struggles with the slow disintegration of his marriage.
1 man—late 20s-30s (Thomas Briggs) Appealing owner of the castle who leads a bohemian life as a painter; smitten with Lady Caroline.
