Breakdown

A feverishly fast paced farce that naturally features extra marital affairs, plot twists, mistaken identities and deceptions. It is a physical comedy that requires excellent comic timing and verbal word play.

Seeking:

BERNARD
Male, mid-late 40's. Jacqueline's husband. He’s a not-so-faithful husband who’s planning a weekend with his mistress, Suzanne, at his home in the country. Eager to please and not make waves but longs for excitmement and the way attention from the opisite sex makes him feel.

JACQUELINE
Female, 30's - 40's. Bernard's wife. A not-so-faithful wife but ultimately loves Bernard. Likes things the way she likes them and is strong willed. American, French, or British dialect.

ROBERT
Male, mid-late 40's. Bernard's single friend and Jacqueline's lover. As Bernard’s alibi, he gets tangled up in his own affair, stumbling into a number of lies in an attempt to get what he wants without destroying his friendship. Ever so slightly bumbling but has an honest heart.

SUZETTE
Female, late 20's - 40's. George’s wife. She is a Cordon Bleu, private cook. She is a quirky plain Jane who later transforms into a rather flamboyant mistress. She plays the part asked of her with practical independence and an assumption of her great acting skills. She further complicates and assists in the affairs of Bernard and Robert as she shifts roles while collecting tips. British accent.

SUZANNE
Female, late 30's - 40's. She’s a bombshell, and she’s Bernard's mistress. Though she’s a model and actress, she’s forced to play the cook upon her arrival to the country home. We’ll experiment with a French, American or British dialect.

GEORGE
Male 20’s-40’s. Suzette’s husband and a man of intimidating stature. He is jealous and very protective of his wife. However, he is more brawn than brain. We’ll experiment with French, British, or American dialect.
