Male presenting. Probably 30s to 50s. Brother of Imogen; works with Charlotte; Nicola’s real estate agent. Strives to be professional, well-meaning and helpful, but can be quite awkward. The most bumbling character of the play.
Male presenting. Late 20s to early 40s. Engaged to Nicola; frequents hotel where Ambrose works; dates Imogen. Often coming off as irresponsible and chauvanistic, he also has a charming side. The most loud and unfiltered character of the play.
Male presenting. Probably 40s to 60s. Bartender at the hotel Dan frequents; employs Charlotte to care for his aging & ill father. Usually keeps his personal life to himself, but cautiously divulges being queer, childhood trauma and adult heartbreak. The most guardedly melancholic character of the play.
Female presenting. At least 20s, but could be much older. Works with Stewart; moonlights as a temporary carer for Ambrose’s father. She appears to be devoutly Christian, but also has a hidden sexual persona. The most cryptic and ambiguous character of the play.
