About the play: <br>
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. <br>
<br>
Looking to cast the following roles: <br>
<br>
SIR WILFRID ROBARTS (Leonard’s defense barrister, 60s) <br>
<br>
LEONARD VOLE (the accused -- late 20s) <br>
<br>
MR. MAYHEW (solicitor -- middle-aged) <br>
<br>
ROMAINE (Leonard’s wife -- 40s) <br>
<br>
MR. MYERS (Barrister -- representing the prosecution, 60s) <br>
<br>
GRETA (Sir Wilfrid’s secretary, 20s) <br>
<br>
CARTER (Sir Wilfrid’s chief clerk) <br>
<br>
JANET MacKENZIE (The victim’s housekeeper – 60’s, needs Scottish
accent) <br>
<br>
MYSTERY WOMAN (40s – needs Cockney accent) <br>
<br>
GIRL (A very small, but pivotal role) <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>

2014. <br>
