Charley Pollard — India Fisher

Notes

The names of some of this play's characters are derived from romantic works of fiction. "Duke Orsino" is from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and Mrs. Lavish is from A Room with a View by E. M. Forster.
The play's name is a reference to The Stones of Venice, a collection of essays by John Ruskin from the 1850s.
Although it was the third to be released, this was the first Eighth Doctor audio drama to be recorded and therefore marked Paul McGann's return to the role for the first time since the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie and India Fisher's first performance as Charley Pollard.
