#MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD CHARACTERS DOWNLOAD#
Download the original novel "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" by Charles Dickens.In addition, these characters are vital in creating the atmosphere of the touring theatre company. Other: Takers of small parts in the Royale, but along with other non-suspects, these will be important characters throughout, taking much of the responsibility for making the audience participation work, and working individually with sections of the audience. Another old retainer, but a classier one than Durdles. This is the sad clown part as opposed to Cricker who is the happy clown. In fact may have quite a major part if (as is quite likely) the evening turns out that way. PHILIP BAX / Bazzard (Tenor/Baritone) Devotee of the theatre, the everlasting understudy, who finally gets his moment. Madam, opium dealer and general purveyor of vice of all kinds. Has done it all before (with everyone) - tart with a heart part. Angela Prysock / Princess Puffer (Legit Contralto) Ancient receptacle much loved by the audience. Even lower in the pecking order than Durdles. A Boy (could be anywhere between seven and forty-seven) DEPUTY. "Clown Prince of the Royale" who makes the most of every line - small part that can steal the show if the others are not careful! DURDLES. Proud, well-to-do Ceylonese young man, fallen on hard times, falls out with Drood just before his death and thus a suspect.
Victor Grinstead / Neville Landless (Tenor/Baritone) Enjoying his first night with the Royale. Stock Oriental character with "geographically untraceable accent".
Sister of Neville, and may have done it for his sake - a suspect. Janet Conover / Helena Landless (Mezzo) A long-standing trooper of the Royale - lots of scope for making this a character. ISOBEL YEARSLEY and FLORENCE GILL (Mezzo/Soprano) Enthusiastic if not always well-directed members of the company. Betrothed to Drood, the only man who isn't in love with her. The ingenue - young, beautiful and apparently fragile. Deirdre Peregrine / Rosa Bud (Legit Soprano to high B) Always has the ingenue parts, for (we hope) obvious reasons. Disappears in Act I, but comes back at the end. Attractive, rich and popular, the young man who has everything. Alice Nutting / Edwin Drood (Legit Mezzo) Prima donna and male impersonator, charming but, as you might expect, prone to stroppiness. Archetypal vicar, but also a bit of a lurker - was in love with Rosa's mother. Cedric Moncrieffe / Crisparkle (Tenor / Baritone) An open book - scope for development (could be like the character he plays, or completely different). Strictly speaking, a suspect, but didn't do it. Choirmaster of Cloisterham Cathedral, and uncle of Edwin Drood. Clive Paget / Jasper (Baritone/Tenor) The Royale's male lead, a devilishly attractive cad, and knows it. James Throttle The Royale's Stage Manager - interesting role, one which could be as big as it can be made, with a lot of interaction with the Chairman. As it turns out, plays the small part of MAYOR SAPSEA. Constant interplay with the audience and the other characters - ability to ad lib a real advantage. The Chairman / Mayor Sapsea (Patter Voice) A long and difficult role, keeps the whole thing together.
A small group of beautiful dancing girls is needed. The music in The Mystery of Edwin Drood is slightly operatic. The story is a play within a play, so all performers will be playing two characters. Since Charles Dickens died before he could complete the whodunit novel on which this musical is based, the audience determines the outcome of this story of murder.
