All Roles
Milo Tindle (M, 20's-30's)
Milo Tindle is an outsider, the son of a half-Jewish Italian immigrant who failed in business and returned to his native country. Milo has thus experienced more of the rough and tumble of life, its hardships, disappointments, and occasional joys. He genuinely loves Wyke's wife, Marguerite, and wants to make a life with her.
Andrew Wyke (M, 40's-60's)
Andrew Wyke is a successful mystery writer, a man who is more at home in the world of games and imagination than he is with real events and real people. He is unloved by both his wife and mistress, but he nonetheless exerts all of his ingenuity to keep the former under his control, while he boasts about the latter's infatuation with his sexual prowess. Human relationships are not what are important to him; rather he seeks the satisfaction that comes with exerting power over others, with manipulating and controlling their lives. He deals with people as if they were pieces in a game of chess--objects to be moved about the board for his amusement.
