Seeking:Equity actors for roles in Westport Country Playhouse's 2023 Season. DIAL M FOR MURDER We strongly encourage actors of all genders, races and ethnicities to submit for all roles. All characters are British with the exception of Maxine who is American. Age ranges for all characters: 30s to 40s. Tony Windice: a retired, British tennis pro now selling sports equipment, likes the finer things in life, but cannot afford them. His solution is to have his wealthy wife murdered. A self-assured schemer who thinks he's plotted the perfect crime. Of course, he's wrong. Margot Windice: Tony's British wife, beautiful and wealthy. She and Tony's marriage has not always been strong, but she foolishly thinks it is going well now. She's wrong - almost dead wrong. Her true love is Maxine. Maxine Holiday: a New Yorker who writes for television crime shows, loves Margot, expressing her love in letters that Tony discovers and uses to blackmail his wife. Maxine is determined to exonerate Margot when she receives the death sentence for murdering Lesgate. Lesgate: also known as C.A. Swann, Adams, and Wilson, is three years older than Tony and attended Cambridge at the same time he did. He is a thief and a murderer, and Tony convinces him to murder his wife for a thousand pounds. The plot fails, and Lesgate is murdered instead. Inspector Hubbard: intelligent policeman who solves the crime.
