7 roles
Ageless. Must present as male. A man set in his ways and obsessed with his hat and has little time for anything else. Oblivious, a bit cantankerous, curmudgeonly.
Ageless Must present as female. A woman who is nothing but supportive, smart, and lovely. Deserves the world, but asks only for crumbs. As her name entails, she is indeed Hetchman’s unfortunate wife.
Ageless. Must present as male. A best friend to Hetchman. Best because he is the only friend Hetchman has. Wonderful, kind, charming and charming. He is the opposite of Hetchman.
Must present as female. A young woman who questions her life. Strong, hard-working, either wise or smart, she doesn’t know yet. Means well, always, but isn’t capable of it, usually.
Must present as male. Voice’s Boyfriend, A young man who doesn’t question his life. A problem-solver to a fault, which he will try to solve as well.
Ageless. Must present as female. A wall. She has seen the history of this house and ventures to tell the story. Patient, or maybe not. Didactic, but probably not. Think well-meaning Aunt.
Ageless. Must present as male. One actor will play both roles. Neither character has lines. Golem - (Not to be confuse with Gollum.) The Jewish golem of Prague. Only makes sounds but does intuit what is going on. Eats a lot. Made of mud.
