Additional Materials
Breakdown
EWEN MONTAGU & OTHERS (Female, 25-40) Strong comic ability and singing ability for this exciting multi-role show. Multi-roles across ages and genders and has a natural facility with comedy script. Strong facility with close harmony work is essential, as well as strong movement skills. Proficiency with accents essential. Strong Alto / Mezzo - Vocal range G3 - F5. The ‘host’ of the show (at least in his mind), Montagu is charming, confident and very much used to getting what he wants as a result. A member of the elite upper classes, he’s the definition of privilege and is determined to be having the most fun possible in any situation.
CHARLES CHOLMONDELEY & OTHERS (Male, 25-40, open ethnicity) Great comedy bones and strong singing ability for this exciting multi-role show. Multi-roles across ages and genders and has a natural facility with comedy. Ability to do Spanish accent essential. Vocal Range: G2 - G4 (baritone). The man behind the plan, Charles has most of the advantages Montagu has in life, and yet has never quite managed to fit in. Awkward, cripplingly shy and a slave to perfection, he’d rather be off studying a rare form of newt than be in the spotlight.
JOHNNY BEVAN & OTHERS (Female, 25-40, open ethnicity) Strong comic ability and singing ability for this exciting multi-role show. Multi-roles across ages and genders and has a natural facility with comedy script. Strong facility with close harmony work is essential, as well as strong movement skills. Proficiency with accents essential. Strong Alto - Vocal range G3 - Bb4. Colonel Bevan is the Head of Military Deception. Painfully serious and often despairing at the maniacs he has working for him. He is our reminder of what’s at stake during the operation. Although he and Montagu are often at odds, he’s not an antagonist; he’s a man with a huge weight on his shoulders trying to get the job done.
HESTER LEGGATT & OTHERS (Male, 25-40, open ethnicity) Strong comic ability and singing ability for this exciting multi-role show. Multi-roles across ages and genders and has a natural facility with comedy script. Strong facility with close harmony work is essential, as well as strong movement skills. Vocal Range: C3 - C5 (tenor). Bevan’s incredibly capable and trusted right-hand woman, Hester is reserved and often comes across as severe to her colleagues. However, underneath her stern exterior and strong sense of duty lies a genuine warmth and desire to connect with the people around her in a deeper way.
JEAN LESLIE & OTHERS (Female, 25-40, open ethnicity) A very strong leading singing ability for this exciting multi-role show. Multi-roles across ages and genders and has a natural facility with comedy script. Strong facility with close harmony work is essential, as well as strong movement skills. Vocal Range: B4 - B6 (mezzo-soprano with strong mix). Young, smart and ambitious, Jean cannot believe the opportunity she’s getting in working at MI-bloody-5! Impatient and outspoken (sometimes to a fault, sometimes to her advantage), she’s constantly pushing against the boundaries of what is expected of her as a young woman in a man’s world.
