Bring a headshot and resume if you have one!

Below is a description of characters: 

  • Brindsley Miller: A young sculptor (mid-twenties), intelligent and attractive, but nervous and uncertain of himself.
  • Carol Melkett: His fiancee. A young debutante, very pretty, very spoiled; very silly. Her sound is that unmistakable terrifying deb quack.
  • Miss Furnival: Middle-aged spinster. Prissy and refined. Clad in the blouse and sack skirt of her gentility, her hair in a bun, her voice in a bun, she reveals only the repressed gestures of a middle class spinster- until the alcohol undoes her.
  • Colonel Melkett: Carol’s commanding father. Brisk, barky, yet given to sudden vocal calms to suggest a deep and alarming instability. It is not only the constant darkness which gives him his look of wide eyed suspicion.
  • Harold Gorringe: The camp owner of an antique-china shop, and Brindsley’s neighbor, Harold comes from North England. His friendship is highly conditioned and possessive sooner or later, payment for it will be asked. A specialist in emotional blackmail, he can become hysterical when slighted or (as inevitably happens) rejected. He is older than Brindsley by several years.
  • Schuppanzigh: A middle-class German refugee, chubby, cultivated, and effervescent. He is entirely happy man, delighted to be in England, even if it means being employed full time by the London Electricity Board.
  • Clea: Brindsley’s ex-mistress. Mid-twenties; dazzling, emotional, bright and mischievous. The challenge to her to create a dramatic situation out of the darkness is ultimately irresistible.
  • Georg Bamberger: An elderly millionaire art collector, easily identifiable as such.
