Charlotte Hay (Female, 50s–60s): George’s wife and the company’s leading lady. She is more practical but possesses a stubborn, vindictive streak. She must be able to perform an upper-class British accent for the “play within a play” scenes. Ethel (Female, 60s–80s): Charlotte’s nearly-deaf mother. She is grumpy, a trouble-maker, and has a deep disdain for George. Requires a performer with strong deadpan comedic timing. Rosalind “Roz” Hay (Female, 20s–30s): George and Charlotte’s daughter. She left the theater for a “normal” life but still has drama in her blood. Must also be able to perform an upper-class British accent.

Eileen (Female, 20s): An aspiring actress in the troupe who has a fling with George. She is flighty, naive, and does not handle adversity well. Richard Maynard (Male, 40s–60s): A wealthy, sophisticated lawyer courting Charlotte. He is professional, “classy,” and often perplexed by the Hay family’s antics.
