This rollicking comedy by Paul Slade Smith (Unnecessary Farce, The Outsider) finds young Oliver Adams on the brink of success: His forthcoming novel, “The Angel Next Door”, is being adapted for the stage by famed Broadway playwrights. They have a leading lady in mind, the very woman Oliver is in love with and about whom he has written his novel. When they all meet for a weekend at a mansion the thin walls reveal the angel’s true nature. Only the power of theatre can save the play, Oliver’s novel, and—perhaps most importantly—his heart.

Roles
● CHARLOTTE SANDERS – A successful Broadway playwright. Quick-witted, resourceful,
optimistic, the engine of our play. Female, fifties to early seventies
● OLIVER ADAMS – A young novelist. Naive, sincere; a romantic, with both the brilliant mind
and unwary heart of a poet. Male, early to mid-twenties
● ARTHUR SANDERS – Charlotte’s husband and co-playwright. A pessimist to her optimist who
delights in being her foil; a skilled writer of quips, both on the page and in life. Male – Fifties to
early seventies
● OLGA – The housekeeper. A nebulous Eastern European accent from the Old Country; a
proudly uncaring, unhelpful servant; intimidating, if not frightening. Female, forties to seventies.
● MARGOT BELL – A Broadway singer and actress. Easily cast as the sweet and beautiful
ingenue, but realizing she’s wiser and stronger than the characters she plays. Female,
mid-twenties to early thirties.
● VICTOR PRATT – A Broadway leading man – and an idiot. Impressively self-involved; the
handsomest, sexiest, manliest man on Broadway, according to him; always a beat behind.
Male, mid-thirties to forties.
