3 Males, 5 Females
Boris Smolensky
The theatre director, late 30’s to early 40’s, speaks with a Russian
accent, but not really Russian. A womanizer with an overextended
ego about his productions.
Renee Savage
A classically trained actress, very generously in her late 40’s, wife
of Boris, who gives her all to the main roles.
Tim Fermor
A petulant, self-absorbed actor. Late 20’s to early 30’s.
Ginette Vincent
A young, pretty, and brainless actress, Boris’ mistress.
Christa D’Amato An actress in her 50’s whose 15 minutes of fame included a regular spot in the television soap opera, “Harley’s Hotel.”
Sophie Lawton
An intelligent and attractive actress in her late 20’s.
Harrison Bracewell
An “old school” actor in his 60’s with a drinking problem. Knows everything and everyone in the business but can’t remember his lines.
Pat
The show and Boris’ regular stage manager. Not particularly attractive and makes a point of emphasizing it.
Boris Smolensky’s budget repertory production of ‘Murder at Priorswell Manor’ is looking very shaky as the curtain goes up. The cast is more interested in their egos and other problems than the play. However, life imitates art when Boris’s wife, Renee, is murdered on stage. Was it Ginette, Boris’s bimbo mistress? Or was it Boris trying to rid himself of some baggage? Is there more to Boris and Pat the stage manager’s stormy relationship? The hilarious script employs a play within a play to satirize the politics of the very inept company while the red herrings will keep the audience guessing until the final moments!
