And Then There Were None Information Hello! This is a 20-minute student film that is in need of actors. There are currently 10 spots available for kids 11-14. The movie is an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None,” but with kids instead of adults. Just to let you know, there are some “deaths” that will be in the movie. Nothing will be shown, but I just wanted to let you guys know. About me: My name is Chase Olivera, I am in the 7th grade, and I really like making short films. This is my first adaptation and I would love to make it the best it can be. Synopsis: Ten strangers are lured to an isolated school by a mysterious "U. N. Owen." At dinner a recorded message accuses each of them in turn of having a guilty secret, and by the end of the night one of the guests is dead. Trapped in the school, and haunted by a nursery rhyme counting down one by one . as one by one . they begin to die. Which among them is the killer and will any of them survive? Characters in order of screen-time: Name: Gender: Lawrence Wargrave Male (Villain) Vera Claythorne Female Philip Lombard Male William Blore Male George Armstrong Male Emily Brent Female Thomas Rogers Male John MacArthur Male Ethel Rogers Female Anthony Marston Male If we end up with different numbers of people, we can change the gender of the characters to fit the actor. Adaptation: ● Characters will be kids instead of Adults ● Setting will be in a school instead of a mansion ● It will be more kid-friendly After production: After I finish editing the film, I will post it on Youtube. A hard copy may be given upon request. Location: SCVi 28060 Hasley Canyon Rd. Castaic, CA 91384 Date/Time: Wednesdays & Thursdays 3:30-5:30 PM May 2nd - May 24th (Could be shorter if filming is faster) .

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Character descriptions - anything that is in quotations is taken directly from Ms. Christie’s original novel and are her words. We will be using her descriptions and analysis of the characters to develop ours for this production. Ethel Rogers, Blore and Lombard are the comic relief of this play and I will look for them to be played as such. I expect quick timing for this show even though it is a drama. I will be looking for actors who bring a fresh, new approach to a very old play. Thomas Rogers - 30s - 50s (68 speeches) He is a competent, middle aged manservant, not a butler but a house parlor man. He is quick and deft and just a trifle specious and shifty. “A tall lank man, grey-haired and very respectable.” He and his wife are hired to handle housekeeping and cooking for the guests on soldier island. To the guests he appears dignified and dutiful but when their backs are turned he is shady and disrespectful. Proper English Accent Ethel Rogers - 30s - 50s (25 speeches) Thomas wife, she is a worried, frightened looking woman. “She is pale and ghostlike with a flat, monotonous voice. Very respectable looking with her hair dragged back from her face. She had queer, light eyes that shift the whole time from place to place. Frightened of her own shadow she looked like a woman who walked in mortal fear.” She is also a bit of a gossip. Cockney or Irish accent Vera Claythorne - 20s (256 speeches) She is a school teacher who comes to the island to act as a secretary for the mysterious owners.

Mrs Bantry, pen in hand, had just asked his advice as to who should be invited to make a sixth guest at dinner that evening. ‘Yes?’ said Mrs Bantry encouragingly. ‘When you were here last year?’ ‘Tell me,’ said Sir Henry, ‘do you know a Miss Marple?’ Mrs Bantry was surprised.

MURDER at the VICARAGE Review
The Essential Agatha Christie: Whether you want to be scared, shocked or stumped, we will help you pick your poison. Strychnine-laced cocoa, anyone? By Tina Jordan, NYT, Oct. 25, 2020 When I was 11, my beloved sixth-grade teacher, Sara McBee — who still sported a 1960s bouffant and frosted lipstick — read aloud to the class every day after lunch. At first, I wasn’t sure about being read to. It seemed childish, a throwback to first and second grades. But Mrs. McBee was a terrific reader, voicing all the characters with verve, and she picked novels I’d never heard of in small-town Texas: Chaim Potok’s “The Chosen,” Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Books Be the first to read books news and see reviews, news and features in The New York Times Book Review. Get it sent to your inbox. One day she began Agatha Christie’s “Cat Among the Pigeons,” a murder mystery set at an English girls’ boarding school. I was entranced by the seemingly incongruous details: a fortune in smuggled gems, an unwieldy tennis racket and a coup in the Middle East. Not long after Mrs. McBee began the book, I badgered my mother to drive me to the Emily Fowler Public Library, where I checked out “Cat Among the Pigeons” along with a battered stack of other Christie books. That is how my obsession began. Agatha Christie at her home in 1950. Credit:Popperfoto, via Getty Images All these years later, I’m still a Christie fan. They’re comfort books; I’ve read them all.
