*SYNOPSIS*: In the early 1960s, loyalty, duty and friendship conflict with
one another in suburban London when an ordinary family is enlisted by MI5,
Britain’s intelligence agency, to keep watch on its neighbors and best
friends who, the Jacksons are shocked to discover, are suspected Russian
spies.





*ROLES*:[Note: Actors must be able to play the ages indicated. Some
characters have British accents.]



Barbara Jackson (40s)– Stay-at-home English wife and mother who becomes
increasingly distressed over the government’s intrusion into her home



Bob Jackson (40s)– Husband and father, generally content with life, who
must balance family stability with duty to country



Julie Jackson (16-17)– Bright, outgoing British high school student who, of
course, spends time with a boy of whom her mother disapproves



Stewart (40+)– Courteous but quietly intimidating MI5 agent who treats
candor as just another item in his toolbox



Helen Kroger (45-55)– Vivacious, slightly vulgar but inoffensive American
neighbor of the Jacksons whom Bob describes as a “Dizzy Lizzy”



Peter Kroger (50s)– Helen’s husband, an affable antiquarian book dealer
whose mysterious business activities mask more nefarious schemes



Thelma (25-35)– Well-mannered “ex-regular army girl” assigned to the
Jackson home by Stewart to surveil the neighborhood



Sally (25-35)– Pleasant second agent assigned to the Jackson home by
Stewart (appears briefly in Act II)





Auditions will consist of readings from the script.



Production dates are June 4, 5, 6, 7 and June 12, 13 and 14.
