6 roles
"Laundry and Bourbon". Female presenting. Intelligent, attractive and strong willed, but struggles with dissatisfaction in her marriage to Roy. Beneath her composed exterior lies a woman yearning for greater connection, stability and fulfilment. She serves as the emotional centre of Laundry and Bourbon, balancing humour, vulnerability and resilience.
"Laundry and Bourbon". Female presenting. Elizabeth’s outspoken friend and neighbour. Sharp-tongued, practical and fiercely loyal, she provides comic relief while offering hard-earned wisdom about relationships and life.

"Laundry and Bourbon". Female presenting. Young, energetic and somewhat naive. Recently married, she approaches life with optimism and curiosity, often acting as a contrast to Elizabeth’s more experienced perspective. Her enthusiasm and innocence bring warmth and honour to the group’s conversations.
"Lone Star". Male presenting. Charismatic Vietnam veteran who masks insecurity and emotional pain with bravado, humour and an endless supply of beer. Proud, larger-than-life, and deeply flawed, he commands attention while struggling to reconcile his past, his marriage and his sense of self. The role requires strong comedic timing and emotional depth.
"Lone Star". Male presenting. Roy’s younger brother. He is thoughtful, earnest and somewhat awkward. He admires Roy but also recognizes his shortcomings. Caught between loyalty and honesty, Ray becomes increasingly important as family secrets emerge. The role requires sincerity, warmth and strong listening skills.
