Cast Requirements
Sidney Bruhl - 40-50
Classy, clever, devious, dashing, polished, jaded, witty, wry, distinguished. Once a celebrated playwright on the Broadway scene, his recent flops and concurrent writer's block have chiseled him into a man now defined by a savage hunger for a new hit play and a seeming willingness to go as far as murdering to get it. Driven not only for his professional resurrection, but to regain his reputation. Secure his fortune, and win the passion of a younger playwright.
Clifford Anderson - 25-30
Charming, charismatic, cunning, brilliant, innocent, devious, smarter than he appears. A mannerly, good-looking young man who is star-struck by the famous, older playwright, and eagerly intent on making a name for himself with a successful thriller of his own. A member of Sidney's drama seminar, he seems delighted to collaborate with him on a thriller. Murder does not appear to be on his agenda, but like Sidney, Clifford is driven and has more up his sleeve than meets the eye.
Myra Bruhl - 40-50
Emotional, nervous, aloof, gleeful with a little bit of a dark streak thrown in. A match to Sidney, she is sophisticated and upper class. She is incredibly supportive of Sidney's career and altering moods. Sweet, caring, emotional, nervous, even skittish, she suffers from a heart condition. She married Sidney eleven years earlier, just as his reputation was declining and his string of flops was beginning to grow. She is now his primary financial support. She did not get what she bargained for, but hides it well.
Helga ten Dorp - 40-60 - Dutch accent is needed., even if its possibly a bad one
Eccentric, mysterious, sensitive, strong, determined, confident, and a bit scary. Her magical powers are very real and potent. She's a celebrity and buys into the show of her gift. Is disarming and brave when faced with pain & violence. Combines the uncanny powers of psychic divination with the everyday frailties of a dotty old lady,she has her own style to sensing and feeling.
Porter Milgrim - 30-60
Pragmatic, observant, confidential, stoic, meddlesome, direct, surprising. Professional & personal long-time-friend to Sidney. A blend of New England decorum and obscene vice. By day an upright lawyer, by night he makes dirty phone calls in a fake voice to his friends.
