Performance dates: April 22 - 25, 2022 at 7 pm each night
Character descriptions:
Henry Flemming - Our hero. He is an unassuming man who is frustrated with his boring life. He decides to quit
his mundane investment job and buy a small detective agency. He starts the show looking for more meaning in
his life. At the beginning he's a little like Barney Fife and at the end he feels like James Bond.
Karen Flemming - his oblivious wife. She is very content with her comfortable upper middle class life and
Henry's mid life crisis rocks her world. She copes by drinking to a lot. She's always offering others drinks to
help justify all her drinking to herself. By the end of the play, she starts to better understand why Henry feels
more alive than ever and she tries to get on board with this new life.
Stan Spencer - The Flemming's pain in the neck neighbor. He's a psychiatrist who is pompous, arrogant,
smug, superficial and isn't very interested in his wife.
Suzy Spencer - Stan's long suffering wife who knows he's a pompous jerk. She is sarcastic and tries to bait
Stan to get a reaction from him. She has trouble hiding her disdain. Maybe that's why the Spencers are very
quick to take a drink when one is offered.
Small Roles:
Walter Larsen - Karen's father, a distinguished self impressed rich businessman.
Lieutenant Davis - A plainclothes cop who is a closet gay.
Miss Havenhurst - Secretary of Henry's detective agency. She's young, sexy and has had a tough life.
Vito Mardigan - Tough threatening hoodlum in a shiny suit
