AVAILABLE ROLES:
This is a British play and British dialects WILL be used. Please come prepared at auditions.
Mr. Bardolph – A middle-aged lawyer who is very dry and utterly professional.
Miss Framer – Miss Schoen's refined but nervous assistant, her age is unimportant.
Surly Man – He is surly. What more is there to say?
Tourists – A group of four or five visitors to Fustian House. The tourists appear in four scenes, and they are different in each of the scenes.
Lettice Duffet, an expert on Elizabethan cuisine and medieval weaponry, is an indefatigable but daffy enthusiast of history and the theatre. As a tour guide at Fustian House, one of the least stately of London's stately homes, she theatrically embellishes its historical past, ultimately coming up on the radar of Lotte Schon, an inspector from the Preservation Trust. Neither impressed or entertained by Lettice's freewheeling history lessons, Schon fires her. Not one however, to go without a fight, Lettice engages the stoic, conventional Lotte in battle to the death of all that is sacred to the Empire and the crown.
