7 role s
Spirited and witty, she is caught in an exhaustive lifestyle, struggling with work/life balance. She has multiple interactive fourth wall-breaking monologues. Becky is the vehicle that drives the pace of the play and should be handled with confidence with comedy and storytelling.
Becky’s husband. Strong, pragmatic, loves his wife and family and is significantly smarter than he gives himself credit for.
A wealthy businessman. Gentle, sweet, good-hearted, and not terribly connected to the real world. Has been lost since his wife’s death.
Joe and Becky’s son. A grad school psychology major; intelligent and self-possessed, but also a little goofy.
Rich, cynical, brilliant. Walter’s daughter, she is dating Chris.
Becky’s coworker. Still grieving the loss of his wife in a hiking accident. Manic, overly emotional.
Walter’s neighbor, scion of a family that has just about gone through its long-held family wealth. Sad, funny, and smart.
