Accomplished physicist Sir Claud Amory has constructed a workable formula for one of the most deadly weapons known to man: the atom bomb. After the formula is mysteriously stolen and Sir Claud is callously murdered, Hercule Poirot arrives to solve the
mystery with the help of Captain Hastings and Inspector Japp. But who did it? Is it the overlooked son and his new bride? Sir Claud’s sister who is stuck in the old ways? The free-spirited cousin of the family? The Italian foreigner who randomly shows up for dinner? The knowledgeable secretary/assistant to Sir Claud? Or, is it the obedient butler?

Character Descriptions:

Note – The role of Hercule Poirot is being reprised by the actor who played Poirot in the Albright's 2023 production of Murder on the Orient Express. All other roles are open for casting. 

All characters will speak with an English accent, except for Dr. Carelli who will speak with a light Italian accent.

Sir Claud Amory – Intelligent scientist who is constantly working on new inventions even though money is no obstacle. Currently, he is working on the idea of a bomb created by colliding
atoms.

Aunt Caroline Amory – Sister to Claud. Caroline is of a different era and loves classic British ideals and ways and doesn’t appreciate when people try to go against the status quo.

Richard Amory – Son to Claud. Doesn’t have much money to his name even though his father is rich. Doesn’t care for his father’s inventions and is quick to express his feelings.

Lucia Amory – Wife to Richard. Hasn’t been married into the family for long but always seems to be anxious. Seems to be hiding something, but is quick to put down any doubts.

Barbara Amory – Cousin to Richard. The antithesis to Aunt Caroline, Barbara is all for breaking the stuffy customs of British life and ready to speak her mind.

Tredwell – Head butler to the Amory family. Knows the ins and outs of the family’s routine and almost seems to know everything that occurs even when he isn’t there.

Dr. Carelli – An Italian doctor and appreciator of science. Joins the family by showing up uninvited for dinner. Claims to be a friend of Lucia’s.

Edward Raynor – Assistant/secretary to Claud. Is highly intelligent and works well with Claud. Very detail oriented.

Hercule Poirot – This role is being reprised.

Captain Hastings – Poirot’s right-hand man. Is always eager to do his job and help out his friend. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but loves to offer ideas.

Inspector Japp – Local policeman who is called in to assist with the case. Very by-the-book and gruff, no pleasantries needed.

Dr. Graham – Family doctor who is called in to examine the body.
Johnson – Another local policeman who is called in to help with the case.
