Character Breakdown

​​

WADSWORTH – A traditional British butler in every sense: uptight, formal and “by the book.” He is the driving force in the play.
YVETTE – A loyal and sexy French maid.
MISS SCARLET – A dry, sardonic D.C. socialite, more interested in secrets.
MRS. PEACOCK – The wealthy wife of a senator. A bit batty, neurotic and quick to hysteria.
MRS. WHITE – A pale, morbid and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands.
COLONEL MUSTARD – A puffy, pompous, dense blowhard of a military man.
PROFESSOR PLUM – An arrogant academic, easily impressed by himself.
MR. GREEN – A timid, yet officious, rule follower. He’s awfully anxious.

​

ENSEMBLE WOMAN, plays:
THE COOK – A gruff woman with a threatening presence. (Alive and Dead.)
SINGING TELEGRAM GIRL – A tap dancer with a heart of gold. (Alive and Dead.)
AUXILIARY SCARLET – The back of Miss Scarlet during a scene of theatrical trickery. (Can also be played by an offstage cover.)
BACKUP COP – Backup for the Chief in the very final “Cops” entrance.

​
