Clive Evans
DAYS REQ'D: 5
Male lead.
Evans has been fostering a seed of doubt about his company and those around him, which has grown out of proportion. Evans' manifestations of reality have begun to impede on his perceptions of the world around him.
His previous quirky and erratic tendencies become integral to his increasingly deranged outlook, as he turns to his Dictaphone to record his speculations.
Benefits (not necessary): Has own car for filming purposes.

Susan Sowinski
DAYS REQ'D: 2-3
Susan Sowinski is a prim and proper office manager.
She reacts initially consummately to Evans' irrational behaviours, but soon tires of them, before becoming alarmed with regards to her own personal safety.

Holly Spate
DAYS REQ'D: 2
Holly Spate is recently widowed of her husband, Geoff Spate - one of Evans' missing colleagues.
She is very weary, on the verge of hostile, towards Evans who makes serious allegations against her. She is followed, observed and contacted by him as she tries to cope with the loss of her husband.
| Minimum Acting experience: | No previous acting experience |
| Accents spoken: | UK English |
Mike Pringle
DAYS REQ'D: 1

| Minimum Acting experience: | No previous acting experience |
| Accents spoken: | UK English |
Matthew Sowinski
DAYS REQ'D: 1
Matthew Sowinski is married to Susan. He is broad shouldered, a bit of a toy boy.
He becomes a protective presence as Evans hones in on Susan in an increasingly turbulent and aggressive manner.
| Minimum Acting experience: | No previous acting experience |
| Ethnicity: | White / Caucasian |
| Accents spoken: | UK English |
2 x Police Officers
DAYS REQ'D: 1
Two police officers question Evans after complaints. They reveal they have been before and can come again - with a warrant if necessary.
Looking for a dynamic pair who can bring something particularly interesting to these roles.
