The founder and former CEO of Amazon and (at the time of the play) the richest man in the world. Narcissist, calculated, keeps his cool on the surface with a current of fear underneath. Sociopath? "HOW TO NOT SAVE THE WORLD WITH MR. BEZOS"
Programmer. Revolution leader. Tough & determined, amused and in control to start but increasingly unhinged; we need to believe that she could crack and throw a table or slit a man’s throat, or break down crying over a letter from her mother. "HOW TO NOT SAVE THE WORLD WITH MR. BEZOS"
(Not available for casting) Belle is from an educated upper middle-class family. She is articulate, intelligent, polite, kind, anxious, somewhat plain. "SOFT STAR"
(Not available for casting). Jane has a high-school education, poorest kid in her neighborhood, raised by a single mother, confident yet antsy, seeking validation. Sexy. "SOFT STAR"

Iranian. To play 10-14. A city girl, born and raised in Mashhad; adventurous, brave, angry. Very intelligent, with an imagination that is so vast it can sometimes extend into “scary” territory. Often talks with the stars. Her thoughts are often in space. (Or, the past.) Loves Javeed more than anyone. "A FIG TREE, AND A PHOENIX, AND A DESIRE TO BE REBORN"
AMAB. Iranian. To play 10 to 14. A country boy, born in a town to the Southeast of Mashhad, towards the border of Afghanistan; gentle, kind, curious. Not necessarily “brave” by nature but can be when he’s inspired. Imaginative and intelligent, but very grounded. Knows the breath of the earth. His feet are on the ground. Loves Mandana more than anyone. "A FIG TREE, AND A PHOENIX, AND A DESIRE TO BE REBORN"
A time traveler. "THE RECURSION OF A MOTH"
