Character	Ages	Role
CHARLES CONDOMINE		...has already been cast!
MADAME ARCATI		...has already been cast!
RUTH CONDOMINE	(30s-40s) female identifying	*RP British Accent required Ruth is the wife of Charles. She is very matter of fact and practical but also has an air of sophistication. She is a bit jealous of Charles’s relationship with his previous wife Elvira, who is deceased.
DR. BRADMAN	(40s-60s)	*RP British Accent required Dr. Bradman is a friend of Charles and Ruth. He is the doctor in the area, well educated and could be played as a contemporary of Charles or a bit older.
MRS. BRADMAN	(40s-60s) female identifying	*RP British Accent required Mrs. Bradman is the wife of Dr. Bradman and a friend of Charles and Ruth. She is sweet, naive and a bit excitable. She’d like Ruth to see her as sophisticated but isn’t very good at pulling it off.
ELVIRA	(20s-30s) female identifying	*RP British Accent required The ghost of Charles’s first wife who died seven years ago. She is vivacious, energetic and mischievous. She has a goal and is determined to get what she wants.
EDITH	(20s-30s) female identifying	*RP British Accent required - could be any regional/county dialect New to the job, Edith is always in a hurry to get things done. This makes her clumsy and awkward. Lots of opportunities for physical comedy.
