| the mysterious "Number 9" informing them of this last chance to escape. The guests are: • Khover T. Ageante: A British businessman whose work takes him frequently between Paris and Berlin. Interestingly, no one seems to know quite what his business is. He is a distinguished individual who is considered by many to be very worldly. Costume suggestion: Crisp business like suit and briefcase. • Princess Idelle Chattre: The last descendant of the royal Chattre line. Her royal blood traces back to Nonnes Taupe Chattre who claimed the Northern European land where his descendants have since thrived. She is quite beautiful but known for being quick to anger. Costume suggestion: Regal but not without style; jewels; crown & sceptre might be a little overdone. • Malcolm "Mal" R. Conntint: A restless, cynical man whose unwillingness to return to his USA home has become a point of much speculation among his fellow Parisian socialites. Rumours have claimed he is a cold-blooded murderer whereas others attribute his reluctance to return home to a broken heart. Costume Suggestion: Gangsterish; dark shirt & suspenders, white tie, fedora. • Mary K. Trairie: An American journalist who has remained in Paris to reveal the truth about the European war to her readers. She was the daughter of the late Augustus Kohn, a renowned publisher in the US. She was briefly married to one Harry Trairie, but his untimely death cut their marriage short. Costume suggestion: Tailored; possibly a manly styled suit; no frills, steno pad. • RAF Group Captain Weyland W. Awfcorce: A renowned English pilot who was shot down over Germany. He managed to evade the Nazis and made it to Paris, where he hopes to be able to find a way back to his homeland. His close friends know him as "Wey". Costume suggestion: Flying jacket, scarf & goggles. • Barbra Z. Enhussie: The rich, spoilt daughter of the late "Perfume King", Louis Z. Enhussie. She was brought up amidst abundant wealth and her abodes, the Châteaux Enhussie and her Paris apartment, are known for extravagant parties and social events. Costume suggestion: Something frilly & flowing; dripping jewels; a fur. • Duke Schwäzhe B. U. Klare: A victim of the German advances who is considered by his captured people to a great hero. He is well-learnt in military matters and is an excellent swordsman. Being young, handsome and unmarried, he is considered to be on of the most eligible bachelors in Europe. Costume suggestion: A regal military uniform with sword; horse optional. • Belinda Screete: An American dress-maker known throughout Paris as a source of both quality and the height in fashion. She flies in high society, and her vivacity and charm have earned her friendship with the wealthy and influential. Costume suggestion: Extremely stylish or, at the other extreme, extremely dress-makerish (pins, thread, tape measure, scissors….) • Justin Case: Mr Case has been engaged to ensure the guests make it to the train on time and that nothing prevents them from boarding. He will act as the Pullman Car attendant thus he will guide the game and double as the drink waiter for the evening. Costume suggestion: A grey dress suit, conservative tie and felt hat. • Sue T Case: Justin’s very efficient wife whose attendance is also two fold. She is keen to flee the city prior to the invasion and has offered to assist her husband by waiting on the guests. Costume suggestion: A conservative suit with frilly blouse. Very much in the style of Casablanca! This is the 40’s and fashionable dresses had padded shoulders, hats & veils were in as were furs. Men wore double breasted suits, gangster hats, carried violin cases with machine guns in them and had cheezy- looking moustaches. |
