Synopsis:
Little Rhoda Penmark is sweet, charming, full of old-fashioned graces, loved by her parents, admired by all her elders. But when one of Rhoda’s schoolmates is mysteriously drowned at a picnic, Mrs. Penmark is alarmed. For the boy who was drowned won the penmanship medal that Rhoda felt she deserved.. “…It ranks with Dracula and sometimes sets your spine to as much tingling…chilling.” NY Telegram.
Characters:
Rhoda Penmark – Rhoda, 8 years old, is a sociopath. She has no conscience and will kill if necessary to get whatever she wants. An adept manipulator, she can easily charm adults while eliciting fear and repulsion from other children, who can sense something wrong with her. Girls wishing to audition for Rhoda, please find more information on our website.
Christine Penmark – The mother of Rhoda Penmark. She doesn’t want to believe the worst of her daughter, but as the play progresses, she unravels, becoming more and more confused and distraught over what she believes to be the truth an, worst of all, her own fault.
Monica Breedlove – The Penmarks’ landlady and Christine’s best friend. She considers herself to be somewhat of a psychotherapist. Monica adores Rhoda and believes her to be a very extraordinary child.
Reginald Tasker- A writer and friend of Monica Breedlove. An avid murder mystery buff.
Leroy Jessup – The maintenance man who works for Monica Breedlove. He notices that Rhoda is unlike other children because he, too, has his own psychopathic tendancies.
Kenneth Penmark – The father of Rhoda and husband of Christine. Kenneth is away on business and therefore unaware of the developments at home.
Emory Wages – Monica Breedlove’s brother, who lives with his sister. Perhaps a bit effeminate.
Miss Fern – Rhoda’s schoolteacher.
Hortense Daigle – Mother of Claude Daigle, who drowned at his picnic.
Dwight Daigle – Father of Claude Daigle.
Richard Bravo – Christine’s adopted father, who holds a key to Rhoda’s history.
