I am looking for lead role “Sevigne” age range 25 to 35. Also looking for smaller role “Lablache” age 30 plus Details are About the Play: A murder has been committed in a parlour maid's bedroom. Josefa is found nude and in a dead faint, pistol in her hand. Did she shoot her lover? It is the duty of the newly appointed examining magistrate to determine the truth. This spicy French comedy is adapted by Harry Kurnitz from Marcel Achard's play, "Li'Idiote." Josefa Lantenay, whose uncomplicated enjoyment of life and unbridled tongue causes despair to thoughtful attorney Paul Sevigne, who is investigating his first Paris case. Benjamin Beaurevers, a well-thought-of banker and head of the household in which Josefa is employed, is unable to speak without convolution of words, which contrasts ludicrously with Josefa's plain talk. Morestan shares Sevigne's examining office and coaches his new associate in the ways of investigation. Play requires French accents. CHARACTERS: Paul Sevigne Magistrate, about 35. Serious. Insecure in his first case as magistrate. A man of integrity. Lablache Chief investigator 30 +
