3 roles

JANETFemale45-65 y.o.All ethnicities

LEAD ROLE. Jared, also 45, is an impatient and dismissive man who thrives on control and validation. He belittles Charlotte, using her sacrifices against her while refusing to recognize his own flaws. Disillusioned with their life, he looks for excitement elsewhere, completely oblivious to Charlotte’s true value. When his world crumbles with the news of Charlotte’s success and his own impending fatherhood, he’s left grappling with the consequences of his arrogance and short-sightedness.

CHARLOTTEFemale45-65 y.o.All ethnicities

LEAD ROLE. Charlotte is a 45-year-old woman who has dedicated her life to nurturing her marriage, often at the expense of her own dreams. She is kind-hearted, optimistic, and tirelessly supportive, yet undervalued by her husband. Despite setbacks, she quietly pursues her passion for writing, and her resilience ultimately rewards her with a major breakthrough. When her loyalty is finally betrayed, Charlotte reclaims her worth and walks away empowered, leaving her past behind.

RICKMale45-65 y.o.All ethnicities

LEAD ROLE. Rick is a deadbeat friend of Jared’s, indifferent to the crumbling state of Jared’s marriage and eager to join him in the bachelor lifestyle. Immature and careless, he has little ambition or empathy, prioritizing his own leisure above all else. Rick encourages Jared’s poor decisions and is a catalyst in the unraveling of Charlotte and Jared’s marriage, providing Jared with a misplaced sense of camaraderie and validation.
