10 roles
A retired judge with a commanding presence and keen intellect. Appears calm, logical, and authoritative, but harbors a chilling ruthlessness beneath his collected exterior. His precise speech and cool demeanor mask a deeply twisted sense of justice.
A former governess now working as a secretary. Intelligent, resourceful, and seemingly poised, though she is haunted by a past tragedy. As the play progresses, her facade of composure unravels into desperation, hysteria, and catatonia.
A soldier of fortune, ex-military, confident, charming, and somewhat reckless. His humor and charisma conceal a callous survival instinct. Lombard thrives under pressure but has a cold pragmatism that makes him both appealing and dangerous.
A successful, slightly pompous doctor with a history of overwork and alcoholism. Nervous energy and eagerness to please are mixed with insecurity. He is well-educated and respected, but his weakness of character and dependence on others erodes his credibility.
A former police inspector turned private investigator. Solid, practical, and blunt, often suspicious of others. His working-class manner contrasts with the upper-crust guests. He is direct and hearty but not particularly imaginative. Comic potential early on, but must transition to desperation later.
An elderly spinster with rigid moral views. Stern, self-righteous, and pious, she is convinced of her own righteousness while showing little compassion for others. Her strict religious convictions make her both intimidating and alienating. Requires strong presence and excellent timing.
A retired World War I officer, dignified but weary. Haunted by memories and guilt, he increasingly retreats into melancholy reflection. His soldierly bearing slips into resignation and acceptance as the murders unfold. A tragic, sympathetic figure.
A wealthy, handsome, carefree playboy. Arrogant, reckless, and entitled, with a love of fast cars and strong drink. His youth and vitality stand in sharp contrast to his chilling indifference to human life. A flamboyant, bold role with energy and bravado.
The cook. A nervous, subservient woman, often bullied by her husband. Fragile, timid, and anxious, she embodies fear from her very first entrance.
The butler. A competent and deferential servant, outwardly proper but strained beneath the surface. Dutiful and reserved, though tightly wound with repressed guilt. His relationship with his wife provides strong opportunities for layered performance.
