Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

The author's stage version of her famous novel.
7 male roles; 3 female roles - suspense thriller
England in 1939

Maxim de Winter (male, age 30-60): Dashing and mysterious, he was married to the first Mrs. de Winter (Rebecca) until she drowned.

Mrs. de Winter (female, age 18-30): Our Heroine. Shy, naïve, awkward and a bit of a misfit when she arrives at Manderely after becoming Maxim’s new wife.

Mrs. Danvers (female, age 40-80): Our Villain. Dark, sinister and more than a little scary, she was Rebecca’s fervent protector and confidante; unhappy that Maxim has remarried and could possibly be hoping for the early demise of the new Mrs. de Winter.

Jack Favell (male, age 35-60): Rebecca's cousin. Lacking integrity and given to alcoholic behavior, he was Rebecca's lover while she was married to Maxim.

Beatrice Lacy (female, age 30-60): She is Maxim de Winter’s sister and married to the Major; she is a busy body and fairly pretentious, but cares for Maxim and his new wife.

Major Giles Lacy (male, age 30-60): Married to Beatrice and brother-in-law to Maxim de Winter. Retired army.

Frank Crawley (male, age 25-80): Maxim's kind, loyal overseer at Manderley, he befriends the heroine almost immediately.

Frith (male, age 25-80): He runs the household at Manderely and is a faithful servant to the de Winter family.

Colonel Julyan (male, age 40-80): The local magistrate in the region surrounding Manderley.

William Tabb (male, age 25-80): Boat builder and expert witness in the drowning death of Rebecca.

THE STORY: The play unfolds the story of Rebecca, Maxim de Winter's first wife, whom the audience never meets. The action takes place in the living room of Maxim's estate, Manderley, where he brings his second wife, a sincere young girl. The new Mrs. de Winter, knowing nothing of Rebecca, strives to penetrate the mystery of the impalpable presence of her husband's first wife and assume her rightful position as mistress of Manderley. There is, however, the sinister Mrs. Danvers, Rebecca's housekeeper, who refuses to allow the new Mrs. de Winter to take the place of Rebecca. It is Mrs. Danvers who induces Mrs. de Winter to wear at a fancy dress ball the costume Rebecca had worn the year before. But the sight of her in Rebecca's costume arouses painful thoughts in Maxim, and he turns on her in a towering rage. His wife, utterly bewildered, decides she can no longer cope with the mystery that surrounds Rebecca, and since she loves Maxim she is completely perplexed. A climax is reached by the discovery of Rebecca's body in the sea, where she had been supposedly drowned. The bride becomes a pillar of strength for her husband, who reveals the tragic story of his first marriage and admits the love he has for his bride, a love he never felt for Rebecca. The drama rises to a climax, involving a police investigation and attempted blackmail, but because Maxim and his wife face the future with confidence the drama ends on a note of triumph.
