3 role s
(Male identifying) Archie: A senior museum official who struggles with expressing himself, possibly due to a less lived-in relationship to his sexuality. Contains a deep well of feeling that maybe only comes out when he’s been drinking. Cillian: An American who fell in love while studying abroad. “Golden retriever” energy meaning that he is happy to be playful and positive but hides an inner restlessness in his relationship. Irial: An ancient Celtic archer.
(Male identifying) Tanner: A recently fired preventative conservator at the museum. Passionate, reactive, with a wicked–sometimes cruel–sense of humor. Sees himself as the victim but would say he’s acting out because of how deeply he feels and loves–and it’s true, he feels extremely deeply. Finn: Fearless embodiment of joy and living one's truth, able to playfully tease Cillian in a way that never feels mean or like he’s actually annoyed. Osgar: An ancient Celtic king.
(Male identifying) Covers both tracks.
