Main Characters

Chris (Christine): The director of the play and actor portraying Inspector Carter.

Pompous and serious, Chris struggles to maintain control of the disastrous production, becoming increasingly exasperated as things fall apart.

Jonathan: Actor playing Charles Haversham, the "murder victim."

Overly dramatic and committed to his role, Jonathan often struggles with staying "dead" amidst the chaos.

Robert: Actor playing Thomas Colleymoore, the best friend of the victim.

Self-assured and oblivious, Robert is a hammy performer who doesn’t realize his overacting and constant ad-libbing derail the show.

Dennis (Denise): Actor playing Perkins, the butler.

Dennis is a terrible actor with poor delivery and often mispronounces words. He is utterly oblivious to his lack of talent.

Sandra: Actor playing Florence Colleymoore, the victim’s fiancée.

Glamorous and self-centered, Sandra revels in the spotlight and frequently overacts. Her dramatic flairs often heighten the chaos.

Max: Actor playing Cecil Haversham (the victim’s brother) and Arthur the Gardener.

Over-enthusiastic and inexperienced, Max frequently breaks character to seek the audience’s approval, basking in applause.

Annie: Stage manager who is forced into performing when things go wrong.

Initially shy and reluctant, Annie gains confidence and becomes hilariously over-the-top as she steps into the action.

Trevor (Tess): The sound and lighting technician.

Uninvolved and indifferent, Trevor spends most of his time complaining about the cast and crew. He’s often dragged into the action unwillingly.
