Tons of Money has everything a comedic actor wants: physical comedy, big characters, quick timing, and no farce is complete without deception and ridiculous disguises.

SHOW SYNOPSIS:

Tons of Money is a British farce that tells the story of Aubrey Allington, an unsuccessful inventor who unexpectedly inherits a large fortune. However, most of the money is likely to be swallowed up by the huge debts he and his wife, Louise, have built up. Aubrey learns that if he dies, the fortune will pass to his cousin, George Maitland, who is believed to have died abroad. Seizing on this opportunity, Louise devises a clever scheme for Aubrey: he will fake his own death and reappear as George Maitland, allowing him to keep the money and escape his creditors. Chaos soon follows as the plan is disrupted by the arrival of George’s wife, Jean, a second impostor claiming to be Maitland (the butler’s brother), and eventually the real George Maitland himself.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:

  • Aubrey Henry Maitland Allington (25-45): An unsuccessful, debt-ridden inventor who fakes his own death multiple times to impersonate his cousin and claim an inheritance without paying his creditors.
  • Louise Allington (25-45): Aubrey’s resourceful wife and the mastermind behind the scheme to have him “resurrect” as his cousin George.
  • George Maitland (25-45): Aubrey’s long-lost cousin from Mexico and next in line to the fortune. He eventually appears in person, disrupting the various impersonation plots.
  • Jean Everard (25-45): The wife of the real George Maitland. In the chaos of the play, she hilariously believes each impostor she meets is her actual husband. 
  • Sprules (25-55): The Allingtons’ butler who, upon learning of the inheritance scheme, hatches a plan to get some of the money for himself.
  • Henery (25-45): Sprules’ brother and a second George Maitland impostor. He uses various accents and disguises to advance his own claim to the money.
  • Simpson (25-55): The Allingtons’ parlourmaid, often portrayed as “dim-witted” and involved in a romantic subplot with Sprules.
  • Miss Benita Mullett (40-70): Aubrey’s aunt, an “old maid” known for her catchphrase, “No need to shout, I’m not deaf!”.
  • James Chesterman (25-65): The family solicitor who brings news of the inheritance.
  • Giles (25-65): The slow-moving gardener, often used for physical comedy and starkly contrasting the high-energy main cast.
