BROOKE ASHTON: (Female Identifying, any ethnicity. Mid 20s-mid 30s)  British dialect. Inexperienced young actress often caught up in her own thoughts. Constantly losing her contact lenses and consequently her way–but carries on with the play regardless. Unknowingly in a love triangle.  She portrays the character “Vicki.”

BELINDA BLAIR: (Female Identifying, any ethnicity, 30s – mid 40s)  British dialect. A veteran actress who tends to see the positive and rallies the company into forward motion. Protective of Freddie and prone to gossip though her good cheer generally carries the day.  She portrays the character “Flavia Brent.”

FREDERICK FELLOWES: (Male Identifying, any ethnicity, 30s – mid 40s)  British dialect. A good hearted but insecure actor prone to overthinking; the actor who always has a question late in the game. Strong aversion to violence with a penchant for nosebleeds.  He portrays the characters “Philip Brent” and “Sheikh.”

LLOYD DALLAS: (Male Identifying, any ethnicity, 40s – 50s) British dialect. The director of the play. Charismatic with the presence and charm to run the room but prone to biting sarcasm and often exasperated with his company. In a love triangle with Brooke and Poppy and forever trying to keep that under wraps.

GARRY LEJEUNE: (Male Identifying, any ethnicity, 30s – 40s) British dialect. Confident in speaking for the company but inarticulate and prone to unfinished sentences. Loves passionately and frequently driven into fits of jealous rage. Must be particularly adept at physical comedy. He portrays the character “Roger Tramplemaine.”

TIMOTHY ALLGOOD: (Male Identifying, any ethnicity, mid 20s – 30s) British dialect. Eager to please, over-worked Stage Manager. Constantly tasked with fixing the many production woes.

SELSDON MOWBRAY: (Male Identifying, any ethnicity, 70s) British dialect. Classical actor who is deeply alcoholic and hides his bottles onstage. Hard of hearing but perhaps using that to his advantage. Pleasant demeaner and quite charming as the burglar despite his bumbling state. He portrays the “Burglar.”

DOTTY OTLEY: [This role has been cast] (Female Identifying, any ethnicity, 50s-60s) British dialect. Grand Dame of the theater having established herself playing character roles. Often forgets lines, props and entrances but passionate about the play (having literally invested in it). Has a thing for younger men. She portrays the character “Mrs. Clackett.”

POPPY NORTON-TAYLOR: [This role has been cast] (Female identifying, any ethnicity, 18-30s) British dialect. She is the Assistant Stage Manager and understudy to the female roles. Emotional, skittish and over-sensitive. Part of the Lloyd-Poppy-Brooke love triangle
