The play:   In Evelyn Strange, Stewart Lemoine brings us humour and razor-sharp dialogue as we follow the title character, a beautiful amnesiac, whose quest to discover her identity exposes a tangled web of deceit, betrayal and murder.  Set in 1955, and opening at the opera to the strains of Wagner’s Siegfried, the play is a fascinating “film noir” tale of mystery and intrigue.    

CHARACTERS (age ranges refer to the characters, not the actors – and are approximate): 
1.       Nina Ferrer –  35-50:  She is the boss’s wife; a socialite; elegant and assured.
 
2.       Perry Spangler – late 20’s – 45:  A sub-editor at a publishing house. Mild mannered, and thoughtful.
 
3.       Evelyn Strange–  late 20’s – early 40’s:  A beautiful & mysterious amnesiac, struggling to discover her identity
 
4.       Lewis Hake – 35 – 50:  A co-worker of Perry’s, he is a bit of a “man about town” and very clever.
