TOWN FOLK.....Various people of all ages in medieval style clothing
WHEATLEY…A trader…Male or Female, has two easy lines to sing on their own but doesn’t have to be an expert singer. Wheatley appears throughout the play . Brave and kindly.
FRED The Builder…Can he fix things? A comedy part with a couple of lines.
IBLIS Thackery Thrung…..a jolly, optimist peasant and family man.
HARMONICA Thrung …..His long suffering but devoted wife who shares her children’s cheeky sense of humour
JAIMEE Thrung…..His impudent son, a good boy who loves a laugh but is never mean of cruel
CHLOOEY…His equally impudent daughter, another part the actor can make their own
OSLO/OSLA.…is cheeky little boy/girl, just a few short lines and a special entrance in disguise towards the end of the play
VIBART….The village sceptic and know all, could also be a female role
KING PRAVIS...Vain, stupid and arrogant
QUEEN MELANIE…One of the baddies.. .detests her husband, Pravis and schemes to have the throne all to herself.
PRINCESS SWEETPEA/ BELLA.… Sassy, brave daughter, late teens, young adult part.
SIDEBORG… He is a sneaky Chancellor and in league with the Queen to get rid of the king.
THE KINGS ENFORCERS…Guards that march on and off…non speaking
SORGHUM AND BOTTLE…King’s enforcers with comedy speaking parts. Not huge parts, but opportunity to do some scene stealing
GRAYGAR……An unhappy Night Elf , a fugitive from the Land of Darkness and Despair. In his homeland, he is feared as a fierce and ruthless warrior, very proud and haughty. Everything he says is in a dramatic way, with plenty of looking off to the distance over the audience. Graygar is lost and bewildered in the absurd land he finds himself in. A lead role, young adult male actor /‘principle boy.’ This NOT a pixie type elf! Think Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Video game players might know his species as a Drow or Dark Elf.
ENID SOGGE….. A kindly water nymph….can be any age, lead part with plenty of comedy.
BILGE….. A boggart. Another great comedy lead part.
THE VOLES…Two (or more voles) fun, important parts for children or small adults with no lines but plenty of expressive squeaking.
FAIRIES … Fairies…dancing roles …these fairies are not just sparkly, they have real attitude, you upset them at your peril!LILY, DAISY and PETUNIA... Speaking role fairies
RIBBET… Enid’s froggy companion…who only says ‘ribbet’…or does he/she?
A MONSTER…Sounds loud and scary off-stage but turns out to be tiny and someone familiar in disguise
