5 role s
Male identifying. A charming, articulate, and impulsive romantic with razor-sharp wit. Elyot is emotionally quicksilver—capable of deep affection and sudden volatility. His connection with Amanda is passionate, combative, and undeniable. Excellent comic timing and the ability to balance elegance with raw emotion.
Female identifying. Brilliant, stylish, and fiercely intelligent. Amanda matches Elyot in wit and temperament, creating a relationship that is both intoxicating and combustible. She moves seamlessly between glamour, humor, venom and vulnerability. Strong comedic instincts and emotional range.
Male identifying. Amanda’s current husband. Earnest, principled, and socially proper, Victor brings sincerity and quiet authority to the chaos around him. His comedy comes from restraint and growing exasperation.
Female identifying. Sweet, gentle, and traditional, Sibyl is Elyot’s current wife. At first polite and reserved, her naive infatuation with Elyot is somewhat possessive and passionate; she becomes highly flustered by the events of the play.
Female identifying. Hotel or household staff. Witty, observant, and supportive, with some comedic moments. Comfortable with French, able to speak French lines fluently.
