17 roles
(Female presenting) She is a nurse and punisher, maybe even a killer. She is obsessive and lost in her own delusions. There is a charm to her and she seems full of life, but that charm crosses a line into something strange, desperate, and grotesque. The joie de vivre is a facade. There is something off and you can’t quite put your finger on it. She is Paul’s “number one fan” and she very much means it. She can change on a dime from nurturer to psychopath. "MISERY"
(Male presenting) He is a renowned author; a romance novelist with ambitions to write something more meaningful, Pulitzer worthy. He is truly charming, handsome, enigmatic and he uses it to his advantage. He is narcissistic and recently may have become aware of that. It scares him. He has a grown adult daughter who he doesn’t see as often as he should. He lives and works in NYC & drove a ridiculously fancy sports car during a Colorado mountain blizzard, and it went tragically wrong. "MISERY"
(Male presenting) The sheriff. He is the contrast. He is folksy, competent, and persistent. He’s a minor but important presence who represents the outside world’s attempt to reach Paul. His investigation adds tension and hope, though his fate underscores the play’s stakes. "MISERY"
(Female presenting) Mollie is the young owner of Monkswell Manor, a Victorian-era estate that has recently been converted into a guest house and the wife of Giles Ralston. She is attentive and kind, albeit a bit anxious about hosting. "THE MOUSETRAP"
(Male presenting) Mollie’s husband of one year, Giles is the co-host of Monkswell Manor. He is somewhat arrogant and jealous of the other guests’ attention toward Mollie. "THE MOUSETRAP"
(Male presenting), younger than Mollie & Miss Casewell) A flighty, obviously neurotic young man, Christopher Wren is a guest at Monkswell Manor. Wren claims to have been named after the architect of the same name by his parents. "THE MOUSETRAP"
(Female presenting) Mrs. Boyle is an imposing woman in a bad temper; she complains about everything. She is disapproving of every effort that Mollie and Giles try to make her comfortable. "THE MOUSETRAP"
(Male presenting) A typical retired British military officer, Major Metcalf is a guest at Monkswell Manor. He is friendly and very polite, and serves as a good counter to Mrs. Boyle during the play’s first act. "THE MOUSETRAP"
(Female presenting) Miss Casewell is another guest at Monkswell Manor, and remains mysteriously aloof from the other guests. A strange, aloof, somewhat masculine woman who speaks offhandedly about the horrific experiences of her childhood. "THE MOUSETRAP"
(Male presenting) A man of unknown provenance who turns up claiming his car has overturned in a snowdrift. He appears to be affecting a foreign accent and artificially aged with make-up. "THE MOUSETRAP"
(Male presenting). Detective Sergeant Trotter is a cheerful, energetic, common-place man who arrives at the guest house on skis to investigate a local murder. Detective Trotter is trying to establish a relationship between any of the guests and a murder already committed at another location. "THE MOUSETRAP"
A lovely and rash romantic. "THE COTTAGE"
Perhaps the best-looking man in Britain. "THE COTTAGE"
8 months pregnant, pragmatic, unflappable, and a tad spicy. "THE COTTAGE"
A distinguished gentleman accountant with a lover’s spirit. "THE COTTAGE"
An awfully pretty, sometimes wise, nincompoop. "THE COTTAGE"
A murderous, yet gentle soul. "THE COTTAGE"
