Were None
LEAD ROLES

THE SOLDIER
Captain Lombard is confident, resourceful and unapologetically bold. With a history of military service, he relies on instinct and quick thinking. Although flirtatious and occasionally arrogant, he is forced to confront his misjudgements as danger closes in.

THE SPINSTER
Emily Brent is strict, unwavering and unyielding in her belief that morality must be absolute. Proud of her discipline and judgment, she holds others to impossibly high standards. Her rigid nature leaves little room for empathy or doubt.

THE SECRETARY
Vera is intelligent, capable and eager for a fresh start when she accepts the job of secretary. At first composed and optimistic, she soon finds herself haunted by her past and overwhelmed by the fear gripping the island, revealing a complex depth.

THE POLICE OFFICER
A former police officer from South Africa, Blore presents himself as wise and available to give advice to others. He is the first to act in a variety of situations, but his actions don’t always yield positive results.
SUPPORTING ROLES

THE BUTLER
Thomas Rogers is the butler and one of the first people on the island. Polite but tightly wound, he works under constant pressure to manage the household and meet every demand placed on him. Despite his professional exterior, he grows increasingly overwhelmed, and much of his frustration falls onto his wife.

THE HOUSEKEEPER
Ethel Rogers is quiet, anxious and physically fragile. Though hired as a cook, she is pushed far beyond her role and struggles under the weight of her responsibilities. Often overshadowed and controlled by her husband, she moves through the house with fear and exhaustion.

THE GENERAL
General MacKenzie carries himself with an old-world dignity but seems disconnected from the others. Restless and uneasy, he avoids the accusations aimed at him by drifting into memories of his late wife, Lesley. His guilty conscience sits just beneath the surface.

THE JUDGE
A retired judge with a sharp, commanding presence, Wargrave observes everything with a cool and analytical mind. Calm under pressure and unwavering in his authority, he approaches the unfolding danger with the same precision he brought to the courtroom.

THE PHYSICIAN
Dr. Armstrong is a respected physician known for his skill, yet beneath his confidence lies a nervous and easily shaken man. Invited to the island under professional pretence, he becomes increasingly distressed, revealing how vulnerable he truly is.

THE PLAYBOY
Anthony Marston is young, handsome and carefree, with the charm and entitlement of someone raised in privilege. Reckless and self-indulgent, he shows little remorse for past choices and treats life as a thrill to be chased rather than a responsibility to hold.
