TRAP FOR A LONELY MAN
By Robert Thomas
Direction: Mike Tompson
A psychological thriller set in a lonely chalet in the French Alps. (No accents required). Designed to keep the audience entertained and on the edge of their seats to the last page.
Daniel Corban’s wife has gone missing and has gone to the local police for help.
When the local priest finds his wife and returns her to him he is outraged to discover she is not his wife. She insists she is and he is now in danger of losing his mind as well.
The audience is left to wonder which of the characters is who they claim to be and this, if they are slightly larger than life, should add fun to playing them.
Cast requirements: 4 men & 2 women
|
THE MAN (33%) |
The major role. Playing age 25-35. A pleasant and believable hero. A challenging, worthwhile part. On stage all the time but not too heavy on the lines. |

THE INSPECTOR (25%) |
Major role. Playing age 40-60. Conscientious, plodding, caring. Typical stage French policeman. (Or so it seems.) |
