CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: In reference to the character descriptions that follow—most characters we encounter currently are on the binary and are written with he/him or she/her pronouns and you will see that in the following descriptions. But however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender non-conforming, gender fluid, transgender and non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with.
We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. In addition, we will list disability when specific to a character, but are otherwise seeking actors with disabilities as well as non-disabled actors for all roles. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.
We are actively committed to casting an inclusive show that reflects the community.
And Then There Were None Breakdown:
“All characters speak with British accents, mostly upper-class unless specified otherwise.”
Sir Lawrence Wargrave (Male) - 45-65 Wargrave is a highly intelligent man with a commanding personality. Wargrave’s experience and air of authority make him a natural leader for the group. A strong sense of justice.
Rogers (Male) 35-55 The dignified butler. Rogers continues to be a proper servant even after his wife is found dead and the bodies begin piling up.
Mrs. Rogers (Female) 30-50 Rogers’s wife. Ethel is a frail woman, she is frantic and anxious. She is married to Thomas.
Fred Narracott: (Male) 30-50 Care taker of the island. Scottish or Irish dialect ideal. Dry sense of humor. A working class man.
Vera Claythorne (Female) 20-30 — A former governess who serves as a secretary to Mrs. Owen. Vera is intelligent and capable, but she also suffers from attacks of hysteria, feels guilty about her crime, and reacts nervously to the uncanny events on the island
Philip Lombard (Male) 30-45— A mysterious, confident, and resourceful man who seems to have been a mercenary soldier in Africa. Lombard is far bolder and more cunning than most of the other characters, traits that allow him to survive. Potential for Upper class British or cockney.
Anthony Marston (Male) 20-30: A rich, athletic, handsome youth. Tony Marston likes to drive recklessly and seems to lack a conscience.
William Henry Blore (Male) 40-60 - A former police inspector. Blore is a well-built man whose experience often inspires others to look to him for advice. He acts boldly and frequently takes initiative, but he also makes frequent blunders. He constantly suspects the wrong person, and his boldness often verges on foolhardiness. Ideally can do Australian and British dialect.
General Mackenzie (Male) 50-70 - The oldest guest. Once the first murders takes place, Mackenzie, already guilt-ridden about his crime, becomes resigned to his death and sits by the sea waiting for it to come to him.
Emily Brent (Female) 35-50 - A ruthlessly religious woman who reads her Bible every day. Unlike the other characters, Emily Brent feels convinced of her own righteousness.
Dr. Edward George Armstrong (Male) - 30-50 A gullible, slightly timid doctor. Armstrong often draws the suspicion of the other guests because of his medical knowledge. He is a recovering alcoholic, while professionally successful, has a weak personality, making him the perfect tool for the murderer. He has spent his whole life pursuing respectability and public success, and is unable to see beneath people’s exteriors.
