(Role requires a British accent.) \nALICE (F\, 50s to 60s; character of British Caucasian decent): Harry’s resilient and no-nonsense wife.  She helps with the pub and serves as a grounded counterpoint to Harry’s arrogance\, though she often bears the brunt of his insults and dismissive behavior. (Role requires a British accent.) \nSHIRLEY (F\, 18 – 25 to play 15; character of British Caucasian decent): Their 15-year-old daughter often described as “mopey” and “moody”.  She is shy and sensitive\, seeking her own voice while living under her parents’ dominating presence. (Role requires a British accent.) \nSYD (M\, 40s – 60; character of British Caucasian decent):  Harry’s former assistant executioner who was fired for “sexual impropriety” involving a corpse. He is mousy\, comical\, and somewhat bumbling\, carrying a mix of shame and a desire for revenge against Harry. (Role requires a British accent.) \nMOONEY (M\, Thirties; character of British Caucasian decent): A mysterious and menacing young Londoner who arrives at the pub. He is secretive\, calculating\, manipulative and fast-talking.  He disrupts the pub’s routine with a veiled sense of danger. (Role requires a British accent.) \nPIERREPOINT (M\, Late 60s to 70s; character of British Caucasian decent): England’s real-life most famous hangman and Harry’s professional rival. He makes a late but commanding appearance that highlights Harry’s petty insecurities by comparison. (Role requires a British accent.) \nINSPECTOR FRY (M\, 50s to 60s; character of British Caucasian decent): A local police inspector who is more interested in drinking at the pub than doing his job.  He has known Harry for a long time and tends to turn a blind eye to the pub’s goings-on. (Role requires a British accent.) \nARTHUR (M\, 60s to 70s; character of British Caucasian decent):  An elderly\, nearly deaf pub regular who needs everything repeated to him and often gets it wrong anyway. (Role requires a British accent.)   \nCHARLIE (M\, 40s; character of British Caucasian decent): A loyal pub regular who often explains the ongoing conversations to Arthur. (Role requires a British accent.) \nBILL (M\, 40s; character of British Caucasian decent):  Another local patron who rounds out the sycophantic chorus of regulars that Harry orders around. (Role requires a British accent.) \nCLEGG (M\, 20s; character of British Caucasian decent):  An opportunistic baby-faced journalist who visits the pub to interview Harry about the end of capital punishment.
