Seeking (all roles are available unless otherwise specified):

Casting note: Characters speak with a Standard English dialect (RP), except where a Manchester dialect is specified.

Mrs. Timbrell:

50s. Mother of three grown children. Warm, wise, bright and altogether lovely, with just a touch of melancholy.

Edward Timbrell:

50s, early 60s. Easily flustered and easily roused. Eager to do the right thing, but not clever or sensitive enough to know what that might be.

Edgar Timbrell:

30s. Perfectly ordinary young man: capable and intelligent. Disdainful of anything out of the ordinary or unconventional.

Sheila:

Late 20s. Engaged to Edgar. Simple, middle-class young woman who “wants to have the prettiest wedding that ever was.” The complexity of this character evolves over the course of the play, as does the importance of her role.

Ada Timbrell:

20s. Younger sister to Edgar and Leonard. Superficial and slight.

Mr. Pendleton / John Broome:

Two-character track for one actor. Pendleton: 50s–60s. Very respectable, very stuffy. John Broome: Manchester dialect. Mary’s father. Working-class (but unemployed). Brusque, proud and earnest.

Mrs. Pendleton / Mrs. Broome:

Two-character track for one actress. Mrs. Pendleton: 50s. Even more respectable and stuffy than her husband. Mrs. Broome: Manchester dialect. Quiet, dull and earnest.

Mrs. Greaves:

60s. Manchester dialect. The landlady. Aggressive and aggrieved. Not especially swift, but a good heart underneath her bluster.

Maid:

20s. Sweet, innocent. Manchester dialect.

Leonard Timbrell:

CAST. Auditioning performers will be considered as possible (emergency) replacements, should any become necessary. 20s. Exceedingly clever, exceedingly charming.

Mary Broome:

CAST. Auditioning performers will be considered as possible (emergency) replacements, should any become necessary. 20s. Manchester dialect. Earnest, thoughtful, quite fine
