Characters
During Wimbledon 1982
The action takes place in the drawing room of Sir & Lady Robert Charles home. Sir Robert is not a well man, we never see him but the life support machine he resides in is ever present. He is the current (electrical pun intended) Minister of Defense who is about to get a promotion. It is also his Birthday (incidentally his last).
Hugo 30-50 years, Male
A portly aristocratic figure who wears a cricket jumper and sports a jaunty bow tie – to show that he is eccentric and does not care. Constantly broke and separated from his wife who is liked by everyone – hence the separation.
Annabelle 30-50 years, Female
Is Hugo’s twin sister, she only wears a robe for the entire play. She is secretly having an affair with Butler. Described by Hugo as the Jaques Cousteau of the bathroom due to the amount of baths she takes – will be late for her own funeral.
Nigel 12 yrs younger than Hugo/Annabelle, Male
Is the twins younger brother, contemporarily dressed with highlighted hair. He is described as a Zen Buddhist with a violent streak. He is studying at Oxford but has been sent down for beating up his tutor during an argument that non-violence doesn’t work.
Kitty 20+ years older than Hugo/Annabelle, Female
Is the “children’s” nanny, white haired and spritely if a little scatty. A very “close” friend of the family indeed, she has the mother of all secrets, actually two of them.
Butler 30-50 years, Male
Sir Robert Charles’ gentleman and the family’s butler, which incidentally is also his name. Coincidentally shares the exact same birth date as Hugo. A proper Jeeves.
Lady Charles 20+ years older than Hugo/Annabelle, Female
She is the matriarch of the family with a very interesting past. Is in hiding from the Central Electricity Board and is not looking forward to switching her husband off (like an old cooker), because he can’t be kept alive on night storage.
Harris can be almost any age, Male or Female
An investigative journalist who isn’t. As the play progresses he sounds more and more like a policeman. Especially when he learns that Sir Robert is going to be switched off, oh and he never does get a sandwich.
Ronnie Aged between Lady Charles & Kitty, Male
Sir Robert Charles’ best and longest friend, he is partly the reason Sir Robert Charles is in the state he is in. He works for the government and the Deputy Joint Chairman of the House of Commons All Parliamentary Tennis Club. Which should tell you all you need to know really.
Slater as per Harris, almost any age, Male or Female
A policeman who isn’t. Quite the opposite of Harris and has a connection to Kitty which he doesn’t realise until the end.
NOTES:
Hugo, Annabelle and Butler must all look a similar age.
