BREAKDOWN
JULES:
Short for Julia. Late 30s. Married to Pam. Jules is abrasive but endearing, extremely smart, hyper-verbal, irreverent. She likes to hold forth. A bit of a bull in a china shop, she sometimes stomps on her own feet. But at her core she’s filled with love of other people and the need to be accepted. Could be British, but not necessarily.
MYNA:
Mid 20s. Henry’s girlfriend. Pretty, feminine, earnest, eager, ethically grounded. She has an ingenuous, faintly airhead-y affect that makes it harder to see that she’s actually emotionally mature for her young age. She gets frustrated by people’s assumptions that she’s an intellectual lightweight.
The following roles are CAST:
EZRA:
Role CAST. Mid to late 30s. Caucasian. Gay. Smart. Like his best friend Jules, he is acerbically funny but has an endearing, vulnerable center. He occasionally slides –- sometimes by accident, sometimes by design -- into politically incorrect territory. A monogamist, a romantic. CAST
HENRY:
Role CAST. Late 30s. Trans Male. Ezra’s best friend from childhood. Smart, funny, verbal, sexually confident. Masculine (he passes as a cis male, something he’s proud of). A bit of a lothario, but not without sensitivity – an excellent friend and listener. Would like to start a family. CAST
CHRIS:
Role CAST. Mid 30s. African-American. Gay. From a rich suburban family. Funny and smart, but a bit less eager for attention than his husband Ezra. A bit more mild-mannered, more empathic. He’d really like to have kids. Chris is (mostly) accustomed to the hiccups of insensitivity that he experiences while being surrounded by his Caucasian friends. CAST
PAM:
Role CAST. 40. Married to Jules. Solid, wise, taciturn. Morally grounded, un-neurotic. An extremely good listener. Successful in business and in momhood. A little scary when she needs to be. CAST
