Breakdown

The roles of Phyllida Spotte-Hume and Professor Walling have been pre-cast.

Lucius Fretway - late 20s-30s. A botanist and a man of science. Intellectual and sensible. In love with Phyllida, but naïve in the ways of romance.

Harry Percy - 30s-40s. An intrepid explorer. Arrogant, self-assured and really quite dim. The pinnacle of Victorian manhood.

Luigi - Ageless. A NaKong tribesman. Proud of his culture. Very smart and very observant. Must be a strong physical comedian.

Professor Cope - 30s-40s. An herpetologist. Great friends with Professor Walling. An unassuming man, except for his pet cobra, Rosie. A perfect Victorian gentleman, well-mannered and enthusiastic.

Professor Sloane - 60s. An archeo-theologist. Irritable and haughty; he does not like change. Opiniated and often abrasive.

Sir Bernard Humprhies - 40s-50s. Private Secretary to Queen Victoria. Polished, distinguished and refined. The man you send to sort out the unpleasantness.

Beebe - 30s-50s. An explorer. Stoic and resilient. A strong-willed survivor. Was left behind on one of Percy's missions and then joined an order or violent monks and has now returned to the club seeking revenge. Also plays an Irish Assassin.
