About the play:
Leonard Vole is arrested for the murder of a wealthy older widow, named
Emily French. Since Mrs. French made him her principal heir, not aware
that he was a married man, things look bad for Leonard's defense. But
the final blow comes when his wife, Romaine, agrees to testify, not in
Leonard's defense, but as a witness for the prosecution. The play ends
with a dramatic twist.

Looking to cast the following roles:

SIR WILFRID ROBARTS (Leonard's defense barrister, 60s)

LEONARD VOLE (the accused -- late 20s)

MR. MAYHEW (solicitor -- middle-aged)

ROMAINE (Leonard's wife -- 40s)

MR. MYERS (Barrister -- representing the prosecution, 60s)

GRETA (Sir Wilfrid's secretary, 20s)

CARTER (Sir Wilfrid's chief clerk)

JANET MacKENZIE (The victim's housekeeper -- 60's, needs Scottish accent)

MYSTERY WOMAN (40s -- needs Cockney accent)

GIRL (A very small, but pivotal role)

In addition to the above roles, there are a number of smaller roles as
well as many non-speaking roles.  All must have a semblance of an
English accent unless otherwise noted. We will have a dialect coach at
times during rehearsals.

Rehearsals for this production will begin on or around September 29, 2014.

Production dates: November 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 2014.
