ABOUT THE PLAY:
A zany British spoof of all crime thrillers...loaded with Sharkey’s smart, sharp as a knife witty dialogue along with a plethora of secret chambers, panels, traps and ridiculous situations.  Makes for a “never a dull moment” evening of theatre.

CHARACTERS:
Men:

Edgar Hollister - 50ish. Member of landed gentry, a bit full of himself (also plays Abel Howard).

Abel Howard - Police Constable (also plays Edgar Hollister).

James Crandall - 40’s. An inspector of Police.  Quiet, stolid of manner.

Barry Draper - 20’s.  Susan’s American fiance, rugged, no nonsense.

Women:

Mavis Templeton Hollister - 30’s. Very recent second wife, very overly dramatic.
Mrs. Lottie Molloy - 50’s-60’s.  Housekeeper, pleasant, enjoys a bit of funning.
Susan Hollister - 20’s.  Edgar’s daughter.  Big eyed and smiling to the point of idiocy.

All actors must be willing to take a “take no prisoners” approach to the production.

Additional information can be found on our Audition Page.  Please bring resume and head shot, if available.
