The Visitor
Ryan for The Visitor
Male, adult, preferable British accent but not required
The visitor is the man who randomly shows up to the island cottage during a heavy storm. He is a mysterious figure both physically and in terms of what he wants. But there is just something about him that makes you want to get to know him more. He is very knowledgeable about things around the island.
The visitor has a very calm demeanor, and it is clearly evident in his voice. He talks a little slowly, but still casually.

(in the rain) Now may I come in? It’s getting pretty chilly out here.
Fair enough. (beat, takes a deep breath) I know this house. I know the layout. The chipped tile in the kitchen, the stain on the ceiling from the leak that never got fixed. I know that bright yellow swing that used to hang from that old pine outside, the one that snapped two summers ago.
You always turn the kettle on when you’re nervous. You’re doing it now.
