The Stranger
Enid rejects her fiancé and marries an exciting stranger. They move to a remote country cottage — all terribly romantic until dark secrets begin revealing themselves and we realize that no one is really who they say they are. This little-known Agatha Christie play perfects the art of the psychological thriller!

Characters
British dialect required.
Doris West
Late 20s - early 30s
A nondescript girl. She is the current roommate of Enid Bradshaw at their flat in Kensington.
Mrs. Huggins
Middle-aged
The housekeeper of Enid and Doris at the flat in Kensington. She often has a pessimistic view on life and love. She assumes that every relationship is a battle to be won.
Enid Bradshaw
Late 20s - early 30s
She has been engaged to Dick Lane for nearly seven years. She is unsure if she loves Dick, or if she is settling for Dick.
Gerald Strange
Late 30s - early 40s
An attractive man. He looks like a man who has lived an outdoor life. He has rather a diffident, boyish manor, which endears him to women. There is nothing bold or flashy about him.
Dick Lane
Mid-30s
He is a gentle man. He looks older than he is, stoops a bit, and has a diffident manner about him. He has been away for nearly seven years.
Mrs. Birch
Gerald’s housekeeper at the cottage. She is an anemic looking woman with a flat depressed voice. She has non of the cheerful pessimism of Mrs. Huggins. She is almost the exact opposite of her, in fact.
