The Mysterious Traveler

Adapted and Directed by Christopher Chiampa
No accents required, other than a fake elderly voice by Lupin.
The Gentleman (m, 20s-40s):
A famous French gentleman-thief. A classic rogue and master of disguise who answers to no one but his own whims. Actor must be able to switch between an "old" and "young" voice.
The Lady (f. mid-30s-50s preferred):
An adventuress; brilliant and cool-headed, she knows more about everyone around her than she lets on.
The Thief (m, any age):
A looming henchman who has been sent on a secret errand; his target and purpose unknown to all but himself. Total opposite of the others; crass, quick to anger, and a bit dull-witted.

The Scarlet Pimpernel

Note about Accents: English accents will be used for English roles; French accents will be preferred for French roles (coaching will be available).
