The intrepid thespians of the Cornley Drama Society are more or less ready to raise the curtain on the grandest production the village has ever seen, The Murder at Haversham Manor鈥攗ntil things go from bad to calamitous. There鈥檚 an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that won鈥檛 play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines)鈥攁nd that鈥檚 only the first act. It鈥檚 nothing you want in a show鈥攁nd everything you want in a comedy!
SEEKING: (Principals and Understudies for all roles)
TREVOR - any ethnicity, 25-35, the play鈥檚 lighting and sound operator; he simply wants to get on with the show, curmudgeonly and doesn鈥檛 care for actors, easily distracted and does many things he shouldn鈥檛, including engaging with the audience, when things go really sideways, he is forced to act in the play, and he hates acting
SANDRA - any ethnicity, 25-35, vain with a huge ego; wants to be loved, has ambitions to go to Hollywood and will hurt anyone standing in her, smart enough to stay on the good side of someone who can help her (like the director), her stakes are very high
ANNIE - any ethnicity, 25-35, the stage manager, cannot bear to be on stage, but must step in to one of the roles, initially terrified by acting, she grows to love it and by the end is willing to kill for it, the biggest journey of any of the characters; starts small but grows and grows
JONATHAN - any ethnicity, 25-35, a bit bland, but sees himself as a James Bond type, excited and having fun, but not na茂ve, cares about the play, but not to the same extent as the others, drives the show; very physical role
ROBERT - any ethnicity, 25-35, wannabe Richard Burton, declamatory style, an actor with real vocal power, unaware of others around him, does not feel badly when things go wrong and never learns from his mistakes, desperate to become president of the Cornley Poly Drama Society
MAX - any ethnicity, 25-35, has never been on stage before; knows his lines and does exactly what he鈥檚 told, no more, no less, has zero connection with any of the other actors, but when he gets a laugh he breaks the 4th wall and engages with the audience, childlike and na茂ve; his mistakes are fundamental, doesn't think anything through, just looks for approval
CHRIS - any ethnicity, 25-35, the director of the show and this is the biggest day of his life, rigid, uptight, self-important, his pain is evident and every time someone laughs the pain deepens, equal amounts of contempt for his fellow actors and the audience, high status clown
DENNIS - any ethnicity, 25-35, no interest in theatre, he just wants to make friends (of which he has none), slightly oblivious, but understands when he gets things wrong, laughter from the audience is a personal tragedy and failure for him
