SYNPOSIS
Filthy Rich is a fast-paced play written in a dramatic film noir style. Satirizing the self-possessed, tough-guy stereotype of classic detective novels, Walter’s protagonist is Tyrone Power, a washed-up writer turned detective.
Characters: (6)
Tyrone M. Power
50+. Reluctant Private Eye who was formerly a journalist. Now he really just wants to be left alone to write his novel. Sarcastic and ineffectual but very smart. Lives alone almost Hermit like. Character has a lot of lines and carries the show
Jamie Mclean
20 to 30. Could be male or female cast. Jamie is Powers side kick whether Power wants him or not. ADD Gen Xer. Fast thinker, faster talker, disastrous conclusions. He is charming and endearing in the above ways but a bit of a danger magnet
Anne Scott
20 to 30. Rich powerful, one of the City’s movers and shakers. She is practical and very smart. Think of an intelligent Kardasian. She drives the plot but what isn’t she telling us?
Susan Scott
20 to 30. Rich, powerful, wild child. She is Anne’s younger sister. She is Trouble with a capital T. In fact, she goes looking for it, finds it and wallows in it. Bad news. Not particularly bright, in fact a bit of a giggling bubble head but a dangerous one.
Detective Stackhouse
50 plus. World weary good cop in a bad city. Tough, physical not adverse to slapping a suspect around a bit to get an answer. Carries a sense of world’s weight on his shoulders and has the ulcers to prove it.
Henry “The Pig” Duvall
25+. A very very bad man and he loves it. A rich criminal with his dirty little fingers in everyone’s pie. The patron saint of missing people as he says. He is very physical. He carries himself with an oversized swagger.
