Interrobang Theatre Project is now accepting submissions for its 2014-15 season opener, Owners, a black comedy by Caryl Churchill. Directed by Interrobang Theatre Project Co-Artistic Director Jeffry Stanton.

Her husband wants her dead, but Marion's too busy to notice. The North London real estate market is booming, and she's out to make a killing. Her loyal young protege-a would-be suicide who can't quite seal the deal-is happy to do her dirty work until he gets a better offer. When Marion discovers she can't buy out a family from one of her properties, she instead takes ownership of their most prized possession.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

North London dialect (working class - see Are You Being Served?)

Clegg (Lead): Male, 40-50, once-attractive butcher, married to Marion. Wants her exclusive attentions but is planning her demise. Regular guy with a lunatic streak.

Worsely (Lead): Male, 20-25, a serially unsuccessful suicide. The nervous type. Works for Marion and in love with her. He does her real estate dirty work. Hired by Clegg to murder her.

Marion (Lead): 30-39, a successful, ruthless property developer. Married to Clegg. Alec's former paramour. Had a stay in a mental hospital after their break up. Determined now to have him back or make him go, but Alec is unmovable. "Onward Christian Soldiers" is her theme song. She's a fighter, a winner. She chews scenery.

Lisa (Lead): late 20s-30s, described as having a weak, but pretty face. Alex's wife. Works washing hair in a salon. Struggling with the stress of three children and an aging mother-in-law. Trying not to crack under Worsely and Marion's pressure.

Alec (Lead): Male, 30-39, has let go of all desire. Refuses to fight for anything except his mum...and then even his mum. An act of heroism is his downfall.
