The Cast part Two - Laity (2)

Development and Marketing Manager - Brent Clipper
Brent is alternately blessed and cursed with the gift of being much to cool for the cathedral. His marketing strategy involves glossy brochures with artistically out-of-focus shots of gargoyles and melacholy choirboys lurking under black umbrellas. This causes endless confusion among the retired wing-commanders and elderly flower-ladies who make up the regular congregation - who are already naturally suspicious becuase he is Austalian. Brent's shirts are handmade in a small Italian village from cotton grown only on the north facing slopes of a local mountain range, harvested while the Hail Mary is recited, and dyed using only the organic products of the sheep-farming industry. Despite this, they are quite nice shirts. In his alternative life, he is a renegade urban graffiti artist whose tag is "Clip".

Deputy Publications Under-Manager - Harriet Goose
Most of Harriet's time and energy is expended in trying to persuade her colleagues that she has a life, and the rest of the world that she has a really important job. A 30-year old virgin, she lives with her parents and nurses a secret passion for crocheting, and a not-very-well-hidden passion for Frank Stanford. She steams open her colleagues' mail and exercises all her ingenuity to hack into the server and read their emails. As web manager, she has slowly been changing her job title to make it sound more impressive - if she keeps this up, she will be calling herself Dean by Christmas. In an attempt to amke Frank jealous, she has recently been flirting with teenage choristers and with Johnny the organist. Sadly, this is failing miserably so far.

Director of Music - Edmund Venables
A brilliant and irascible musican, Edmund strikes fear into the hearts of the choristers with The Look - a stern combination of furrowed brow and piercing eyes which could freeze cheese. In his spare time he retreats into a hermitage he had built on his wife's family estate and composes incomprehenisble atonal music which receives rave reviews worldwide.
