Ed, the perhaps surprising answer to your question is:

John doubles Mother

Susan doubles Father

Titty doubles the Pilot

Roger doubles Jim Brading

The company whose production this is, Eastern Angles, are a local institution, whose trademarks are ingenious, but always simple, staging, minimalist costume changes, a very small number of players (I've seen them use three) and new plays, written for them, always with a focus on East Anglian themes, with which they tour, giving performances in village halls and in tents, never in purpose built theatres.

I saw it tonight, in the company of several eminent Ransomians, who can no doubt comment further.

I thought it worked well; so did my 13 year old and 6 year old sons, both of whom know the book.
