CASTING REQUIREMENTS:
Casting needs: 3 females, 3/4 males.
MISS PETRIE
A pleasant, efficient woman with a genuine liking for people
DR. ROY FLEMMING
A polished, urbane New York psychiatrist. Highly civilized, pragmatic, with a cold, functioning intelligence.
CLAIRE FLEMMING
A brittle, sardonic product of New York's East side. She shows the strain of a loveless marriage.
SUSAN HUDSON
Extremely attractive, with a hint of latent sensuality. She is not particularly complicated, but as the play progresses she shows the burden of the increasing tension.
LIEUTENANT COLUMBO
A rumpled police official of indeterminate age. He seems to be bumbling and vague, with an overly apologetic, almost deferential manner. This masks an innate shrewdness, and foxy knowledge of human nature.
DAVE GORDON
A smooth, boyish lawyer with his eye on a political future.
DELIVERY BOY
Could be played by the same actor as Dave Gordon; only briefly seen.
