One poor soul is desperately trying to hide his increasingly hairy predicament while London is hit by a wave of mysterious murders and some truly questionable facial hair choices.

Characters

Pocket Sandwich Theatre is looking for a diverse group of actors. Actors from historically underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to audition. British accents are encouraged.

The roles of Faldor Khan and the Werewolf have been precast.

Dr. Ian Glendon
Male
25 – 40

Brilliant botanist and accidental werewolf, a man of science forced to wrestle with his inner beast.

Lisa Ashley
Female
20 – 30

The steadfast fiancée of Dr. Glendon; radiating compassion, courage, and the sort of pluck that makes one wonder if she moonlights as a suffragette.

Sir Henry Hobson
Male
50 – 65

A classic old-school hunter with a booming voice and a trophy wall to match.

Paul Ames
Male
25 – 40

Ian’s closest confidant, Paul combines dry wit with a wet bar.

Lady Pamela Brittingham-Perth
Female
35 – 50

Wealthy socialite with a penchant for adventure and disdain for the less-than-wealthy.

Li
Male
25 – 40

Seeking Asian, East Asian, or South Asian actor. Neutral American dialect. The guide who has seen it all and still manages to be surprised by British eccentricities. He's the friend you want when things get hairy-literally. The hero who gets the girl.

Lady Millicent Hobson
Female
40 – 60

Witty, sharp, and unflappable; the sort of woman who can host a dinner party while a werewolf rampages in the garden.

Molly Mapes
Female
20 – 35

The Hobsons’ indomitable maid, Molly is resourceful, quick-witted, and utterly unimpressed by supernatural nonsense.

Inspector Hugh Mortimer
Male
40 – 60

A detective whose methods are unconventional and whose nap schedule is legendary.

Constable Denis Dougherty
Any gender
25 – 40

The diligent, quietly competent police constable who does the heavy lifting while their superior naps.

Mrs. Paddlesforth
Female
40 – 65

London’s most resourceful widow, with a story for every occasion and a survival instinct that rivals any supernatural predator.

Mr. Burke, The Delivery Man / Chimney Sweep / Undertaker’s Man
Male
20 - 50

All three played by the same actor; hired by, and in service to, Lady Millicent.

Delightfully Devastatin’ Dora / Flower Lady / Salvation Army Lassie

Double cast with other players in the show; all three encounter the werewolf in varying degrees of tragedy, or success.
