SYNOPSIS
Lost in the fog, a stranger seeks refuge in a nearby house, only to find a man shot dead and his wife standing over him with a smoking gun. But the woman’s dazed confession is anything but convincing, and the unexpected guest decides to help. Remarkably, the police clues point to a man who died two years previously, but as the ghosts of a past wrong begin to emerge, a tangled web of lies reveals family secrets and chilling motives, where the real murderer turns out to be the greatest mystery of all.

Character:

• Richard Warwick – Dead (no lines – great for someone wanting to get started in community theatre acting)
• Laura Warwick – Kind and caring. Richard Warwick’s wife.
• Michael Starkwedder – Rugged outdoor look. Not polished but quick thinker
• Miss Bennett – Organized, alert, and nosey. Runs the household.
• Jan Warwick – Excitable young man with an innocent sweetness about him. Eyes dart and add sly look to him.
• Mrs. Warwick – commanding and alert with a strong personality.
• Henry Angell – Manservant with proper manners but shifty untrusting personality.
• Sergeant Cadwallader – Poetic and soft spoken. Somewhat unobserving
• Inspector Thomas – Good poker face with dry sarcastic attitude.
• Julian Farrar – Politician with soldiery aspect.
