SHORT SYNOPSIS:  

A young couple are enticed to visit an attic room in the Brabissant Mansion by the family’s caretakers because of an uncanny resemblance of the young woman to the late daughter of their employers. This invitation begins the blurring of lines between reality and madness, guilt and murder.  This is a roller-coaster ride for the audience where all lines of conduct are crossed.

CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:

PLEASE NOTE: Uncomfortable themes such as child abuse, incest, and necrophilia are dealt with in this production.  If involved, you must be comfortable presenting these aspects.  There is also some staged violence which will be thoroughly choreographed.

No nudity will be required.

WOMAN (F, Late 30s – Early 60s) Able to play a sweet, elderly Irish-American housekeeper and a strong, yet embittered Bostonian socialite. (Irish and Bostonian accents are required.)

MAN (M, Late 30s – Early 60s) Able to play a sweet, elderly Irish-American groundskeeper and a loving, yet emotionally wounded Bostonian socialite. (Irish and Bostonian accents are required.)

YOUNG MAN (M, 20s – Early 30s) Able to play a good-hearted, but somewhat sheltered young lawyer and a very straight-laced, old school Bostonian doctor. (Bostonian accent is required.)
