8 roles
Quick-witted and inventive, John is a taxi driver that seems very ordinary, except that he's a bigamist. The role requires excellent comic timing and physical versatility.
John's wife. Mary appears in control initially, but a series of unexpected situations gradually throw her off-balance completely. The role can be physically and vocally demanding as the actor needs to be able perform a whole gamut of emotions - charming to frustrated, dramatic to outraged and distraught with hysterics and screams.
John's second wife, happily married and unsuspecting (at first). Like the character of Mary, Barbara requires good comic timing and physicality.
An earnest, severe, and somewhat intimidating police officer. Requires good vocal variety and the ability to be commanding physically and verbally.
Porterhouse is a seasoned police detective. Considerate and compassionate, his belief in the best in people can make him seem a little naïve and gullible. A little droll, but bemused as well.
Barbara's neighbor, a flamboyant dress designer, who has no shortage of charm and wit (with the occasional flair for the dramatic). A role that especially requires good comic timing.
John's neighbor, who ends up getting dragged into John's various deceitful machinations. Stanley may be brash and smart (yet lazy), but he is a good friend. The role is physically demanding, requiring an actor comfortable with multiple British accents and characterizations.
Fun, tabloid-esque reporter, pushy to the point of being rude.
