Other Character Descriptions:
Mrs. Veronica Bodhi: Female – 25-50 – loving wife, now grieving widow of Theodore “Ted” Bodhi. Sultry, intelligent, yet vulnerable; Morticia Adams type of character, but with more emotion. Flexible with age, looking more for who best fits the role.
Detective Payne: Male – 50s – 60s – grizzled veteran detective just trying to make it through his last day on the job. He has been around the block a time or three and nothing shocks him anymore. But, he knows something the rest of the characters don’t.
Detective Diassi: Male – 25 – 40 years old – junior detective, just starting on the force, learning the ropes from Detective Payne.
Officer Michell/French Butler/Italian Cook/ and others: Any age/gender but has been played by females in the past– this is a fun, physical role.
Maid/Black Knight/Mrs. McGillicutty: Female – 30-50 years old – Maid and Black Knight are self-explanatory. Mrs. McGillicutty is the 120-year-old loyal secretary of Theodore Bodhi.
Smart Alec Light/Sound Person: Any age/gender. Not your typical sound person. Only a few light and sound cues and you do get some on-stage moments.
