Breakdown

Bill Snibson
25 to 35. A pugnacious comedic Cockney costermonger from Lambeth, complete with bobbing brown bowler who inherits Lord Hareford's land and titles. A straight forward chap who is utterly devoted to his sweetheart Sally.

Sally Smith
22 to 33. Bill’s sweetheart. A simple young girl who wants the best for Bill and is prepared to give him up to allow him to achieve his destiny.

Maria, Duchess of Dene
40 to 60. An intimidating aristocrat. Bill's Aunt who is fiercely proud of the heritage of the Hareford family and is determined to mould Bill into the perfect gentleman whether he wants it or not. She displays the odd moment of compassion now and again, but is generally a 'battle-axe'.

Lady Jacqueline Carstone
22 to 36. A calculating young blonde who breaks off her engagement to Gerald in order to pursue Bill for her love of money.

Sir John Tremayne
45 to 65. An older gentleman, rather fond of his drink, who is kind to Sally and Bill. He is in love with the Duchess, but has never mentioned his feelings.

The Hon. Gerald Bolingbroke
25 to 38. Described as 'a good-looking young man', he is perpetually cheerful even when faced with the loss of his income. He is desperately in love with Jackie and pursues her regardless of the way she has treated him.

Herbert Parchester
30 to 60. Family solicitor, who doesn't take the Duchess and her clan at all seriously. He tries to stir Bill up into rebellion against Her Grace and believes that as long as you can sing and dance, eat and drink, then there's really nothing to worry about.

Lord and Lady Battersby
40 to 60. Older aristocratic couple. Both are strong singers and movers.

Sir Jasper Tring
60 to 90. A nonagenarian with a severe hearing difficulty.

Ensemble:
Other named characters and bit parts will be played by the singing and dancing ensemble.
