8 roles
Athletic, suave, and very rich. Naturally calm, almost paternal in nature, but not altogether likable. About the same age as Granillo, his school mate.
A Spaniard who speaks perfect English. Extremely courteous and very likeable, however has a weaker constitution for subterfuge. About the same age as Brandon, his school mate.
Younger than Granillo and Brandon. He’s shy, simple-minded, goodhearted,and a bit clueless.
About the same age as Raglan. Sweet, charming, but overcompensates and tries to project sophistication to the party guests.
A kind and pleasant older gentleman. Sir Johnstone is the father to the murder victim, Robert. He is harmless and gentle but has lived a life of extreme privilege.
Sir Johnstone’s sister, a widow. She is plain, absent-minded, and hardly ever opens her mouth except occasionally to clock back into the conversation after glazing over in a sort of lost, miserable fog.
A bit older than Granillo & Brandon, Rupert has a permanent injury to his right leg and limps/walks with the help of an ornate cane. He is foppish and enormously affected in speech and carriage. His sentences are often involved, and lofty. Sometimes though, he surprises everyone with his open and genial smile.
The French servant of the house. He is the perfect employee – intelligent, alert, and obedient. Whoever he’s with, he has an air of being breathlessly anxious, ready to apologize for anything, whether he’s responsible for it or not.
