CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
George Hay
50-60ish. Very committed Actor. Used to be a big star on Broadway in the 1930s, now reduced to running a touring repertory company currently presenting “Cyrano de Bergerac” and “Private Lives”. This is quite a major physical role, onstage for most of the show.
Please note: This character has scenes of intimacy in the show
Ethel
Old enough to be Charlotte’s mother (which she is). She doesn’t like George, thinks her daughter married beneath her. She also used to be on the stage but is now the costume department. Ethel is vey acerbic and deaf.
Charlotte Hay
About the same age as George, was also a major Broadway star pre-war, now taking the lead roles in the company’s present productions. Major role
Please note: This character has scenes of intimacy in the show
Rosalind
George and Charlottes daughter, mid 20s to 30s. She has left the acting world to work in advertising as she can no longer handle the ongoing madness. She is mostly sensible and competent, a voice of reason. Used to be in love with Paul.
Please note: This character has scenes of intimacy in the show
Howard
30s. He is a TV weatherman, engaged to Rosalind. Totally in awe of the Hays because of their past fame. He is awkward and like a fish out of water in their company.
Please note: This character has scenes of intimacy in the show
Eileen
Late teens, early 20s. She is the ingénue in the company. This is a smaller role, but vital to the plot. Spends most of the play in tears.
Paul
late 20s, early 30s. He is the second male lead in the company and mostly manages the company. He is in love with Rosalind.
Please note: This character has scenes of intimacy in the show
Richard
50-60. Quite lovable but conservative. He is the Hay’s lawyer who has been in love with Charlotte for years. Wealthy and very well dressed.
