CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS
& Roles and requirements:
Arthur Kipps- Age: 50s–70s
Gender: Male-presenting
A reserved and emotionally burdened solicitor who endured a haunting experience in his youth. In the play-within-a-play structure, Kipps serves as both narrator and supporting character—recreating his journey by performing the roles of various people he encountered. The actor playing Kipps should be a skilled storyteller with a command of multiple character voices and physicalities.
The Actor - Age: 20s–40s
Gender: Male-presenting
Engaged by Kipps to help dramatize and present his story, the Actor is confident, charismatic, and initially skeptical of the ghostly material. He takes on the role of the “younger Kipps” in the re-enactment, immersing himself in the solicitor's past and gradually unraveling as the line between fiction and reality becomes blurred. This role requires a strong stage presence, as the Actor drives the narrative and builds tension throughout.
The Woman in Black - Age: Flexible
Gender: Female-presenting
A ghostly, silent figure cloaked in mourning garb. She does not speak but exerts a chilling presence through stillness, timing, and physicality. Her appearances are sudden, unsettling, and always signal doom. Strong movement skills are a must
