SHOW DESCRIPTION
Ten strangers with dark secrets arrive on a remote island, trapped by a storm and stalked by a ruthless killer.

Will justice be served?.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
All characters can be portrayed by any ethnicity.
All characters are British and will need to have either a Standard British or Cockney accent. Feel free to “bring” yours to the audition! We will also work on accents during the rehearsal process.
Thomas Rogers (30s - 50s) He is a competent, middle-aged manservant. He and his wife were hired to handle housekeeping and cooking for the guests on Soldier Island.
Ethel Rogers (30s - 50s) Thomas’ wife, she is a worried, frightened-looking woman. She and her husband were hired to handle housekeeping and cooking for the guests on Soldier Island.
Vera Claythorne (20s) She is a school teacher who comes to the island to act as a secretary for the mysterious owners. She is practical and careful but also a romantic.
Phillip Lombard (25-30s) He is attractive, resourceful and creative, always cracking jokes. He used to be a soldier in Africa and has been hired to watch out for any trouble that may occur on Soldier Island.
Anthony Marston (20s) A creature of sensation and of action, he is a rich, athletic, and handsome youth. He likes to drive recklessly and seems to lack a conscience. (This role may also double with Fred Narracott. See below.)
Emily Brent (40s-60s) She is a Bible-thumping, self-righteous old biddy who never consciously feels any remorse.
Sir Lawrence Wargrave (50s-70s) Lately retired from the bench, he is obsessed with justice - and with death. He is a hanging judge and speaks in acid tones. When the guests realize they are being hunted and killed, they turn to him because of his air of authority and leadership skills.
Dr. Armstrong (40s-50s) A successful doctor who comes to Soldier Island to tend to the ill Mrs. Owen. He is preoccupied with maintaining his reputation and success.
William Blore (40s-60s) An ex-police inspector who is hired to come to the island under false pretenses. He is practical and careful but has very little imagination. Well-built, his experience inspires others to look to him for advice. His attempts at blending in with the more refined guests makes for a comedic effect.
General Mackenzie (60s - 70s) A general in WWI, he is the oldest guest on the island. Still proud, but losing his grip on reality. Upright, soldierly, but gentle and kind man with a tired face.
Fred Narracott (20s-50s) A boatman who brings supplies and guests to Soldier Island. He appears onstage at the beginning of the play and is referred to throughout. (This role may also double with Anthony Marston. See above.)
