Sleuth was written by Anthony Shaffer and published in 1970. This play has received numerous accolades and is worthy of production. We acknowledge that 1970 was a very different time and that some of the language and sentiments expressed in the play may not be in line with what we in the present consider to be correct or representative of our current views. We also acknowledge that the play contains violence, violent themes, and other themes which may be controversial. Cambrian Players supports the production of plays that promote conversation and explore the full range of the human experience. If you have any questions please contact production@cambrianplayers.com
Andrea Jacobsen
Andrew Wyke
This absolute corker of a show is Andrea's seventh with Cambrian Players. They promise they're not quite as competitive as it looks! Thanks to Dad for introducing the joys of theatre and games. This is all his fault. LYTTEOS, Shan.
Rob Paularinne
Milo Tindle
Rob is excited to be part of the cast of Sleuth with his good friend, Andrea. You may have seen Rob in Cambrian Players' past productions of Hamlet where he played Voltimand; Anastasia where he played Dr. Serensky; and Vino Veritas where he played Phil. Most recently Rob worked as Assistant Director on A Christmas Carol. He would like to thank his wife and kids for all their support.
Stanley Rushton
Inspector Doppler
By day, accountant Stanley "Bloodhound" Rushton chases numbers. By night, he chases clues! A community theatre veteran with a nose for a good mystery, Stanley brings meticulous detail and a touch of dry wit to his detective roles. He hopes to thrill you in this role as Inspector Doppler.
Robin Mayfield
Detective Sergeant Tarrant
Robin "Robbie" Mayfield: Day job? Who needs one! Robbie, a walking encyclopaedia of classic plays, spends his days memorizing lines and his nights delivering them with Shakespearean gusto (even in modern comedies). Don't miss his booming pronouncements as the grumpy ghost in Blithe Spirit!
Liam McNulty
Police Constable Higgs
Liam juggles spreadsheets by day and spotlights by night. A fixture at Cambrian Players for 20 years, Liam tackles roles with booming enthusiasm, from bumbling detectives to tragic heroes. He hasn't mastered a British accent yet, but he hopes the audience will love him anyway.

Jerry Silen
Set Construction
Jerry showed up at his first set build with a full carpenter's belt and tools. Not sure what to expect, but wanting to make a good impression. It must have worked, because here he is, taking the lead on building numerous sets for Cambrian Players.
Don McMahon
Set Dresser
Don is usually found skulking around the Props Department. Despite recent sightings near the paint shelving, rumours persist he has been mysteriously moving and rearranging large pieces of furniture in the storage area. Or is it a Poltergeist? No one knows for sure... It's a mystery! Hope you enjoy the show!
There are no upcoming auditions at this time. Stay tuned for auditions for our 75th season, starting late Summer 2024!
