Edwin drood cast list7/31/2023 Jasper refutes their claims, but Mr Grewgious begins to look into it, assisted by Neville and Grewgious's clerk, Bazzard. As Edwin Jr was their brother, they argued, Neville had no cause to murder him. ![]() While defending Neville's innocence against Jasper's accusations, the twins confess that they did not come to Cloisterham to further their education but to find their father, the late Edwin Drood Sr. Meanwhile, Deputy, Durdles' little helper, finds the ring discarded on the graveyard floor. Mr Grewgious keeps Neville out of jail by taking responsibility for him: he will produce him any time his presence is required. Neville leaves early in the morning for a hike, but the townspeople overtake him and bring him back to the city. Neville is seen to depart, but the next morning Edwin is missing and Jasper spreads suspicion that Neville has killed him. Drood and Neville leave together to go down to the cathedral, where they learn they have more in common than was previously thought. Reeling from his anger, he arranges a reconciliation dinner between Edwin and Neville, which proves successful. Unfortunately, Jasper, who had been given information by Mr Grewgious to indicate that the betrothal might not go through, sees his delight crushed by a misreading of their conversation, mistaking the amicable parting for a confirmation of shared affection. ![]() The next day, Rosa and Edwin amicably agree to end their betrothal. Mr Grewgious gives Edwin a ring which Rosa's father had given to her mother, with the proviso that Edwin must either give the ring to Rosa as a sign of his irrevocable commitment to her or return it to him. When she asks whether there would be any forfeiture to her inheritance if she does not marry Edwin, he replies that there would be none on either side. Rosa, convinced she does not love Edwin, visits her guardian, Mr Grewgious. The wine is mysteriously potent and Durdles soon loses consciousness. Jasper provides a bottle of wine to Durdles. Durdles takes Jasper into the cathedral crypt. Meanwhile, having an interest in the cathedral crypt, Jasper seeks the company of Durdles, a man who knows more about the crypt than anyone else. Neville and Edwin, meanwhile, have a brief scrap, and Edwin later provokes him into reacting violently, which Jasper reports to others, giving birth to Neville's reputation of having a violent temper. Back at the Nuns' House, Helena makes her suspicions known to Rosa, who confides to her that she loathes and fears her music-master, Jasper. At the same event, Neville becomes attracted to Rosa and takes an immediate dislike to Edwin, and Helena and Rosa strike up a friendship, after the singing exercise leaves the latter unsettled. While Jasper plays on the piano and Rosa sings along, his desire for her becomes more obvious, and is immediately noticed by Helena. Failing to engage them in conversation, Reverend Crisparkle and his mother invite Edwin and Rosa to meet them. In the same scene, the attraction Jasper seems to have for Rosa, as indicated in his earlier hallucination, is buttressed by a drawing of her enjoying pride of place on his wall, which Edwin believes he has kept because he (Edwin) was the artist.Ī second arrival to Cloisterham follows Edwin's, as Neville Landless and his twin sister Helena arrive from Ceylon, Neville to study with one of the minor canons, Reverend Crisparkle, and Helena will live at the Nuns' House with Rosa. It is soon apparent that theirs is an odd relationship and Rosa shows little passion for it, something Edwin communicates to his uncle after the visit. His arrival at the Nuns' House, the boarding school where Rosa lives, is met with much excitement by the other occupants, while Rosa appears indifferent at best. Edwin Drood later visits Cloisterham, initially to see Rosa, before going off to his uncle's house.
