Selwyn Piper – a novelist, a successful literary critic and thriller writer, in his forties, well groomed, erudite and self-assured, ready but sardonic wit
Christine Scott – his secretary, attractive, likeable, efficient, in her early 20’s, unobtrusive charm, devoted to Piper but the relationship never goes beyond that of employer/employee
Imogen Piper – his wife – a few years younger than her husband, attractive ex-actress, theatrical charm and composure, good at verbal fencing, well dressed, heavily made up.
Peter Fletcher – his neighbor – in his late twenties, light-hearted, frivolous manner, appears unable to take even the the most solemn occasion seriously, reveals flashes of acute intelligence which shows more as the play develops
John Douglas – his publisher- bluff, middle-aged, immaculately turned-out with easy charm which disintegrates into bewilderment under stress. He is intellectually inferior to both Selwyn and Imogen – fails to appreciate the import of the deadly games they play on each other and as a result he becomes a pawn in their hands.
