Breakdown
CAST
NATHAN - F Murray Abraham
ALSO CAST
DAYA, SITTAH, AL-HAFI
Seeking the following roles:
NATHAN:
Male, 60’s – 70’s. Jewish merchant who suffers great loss; tragic hero who repays evil with good; a humanitarian; self-reliant, fearless and tolerant.
RACHEL:
Female, 20’s. Raised by Nathan alone, she is very much her father’s daughter; bright, passionate, leads with her heart. Prone to fantasies – both good and bad.
TEMPLAR KNIGHT:
Male, late 20’s – early 30’s; disillusioned young knight who opposes religious wars; high-minded, open-hearted, yet reserved; impetuous.
SALADIN:
Male, 50’s – 60’s; Seemingly prejudiced against Nathan; quick-witted and capable of magnanimity when it is deserved.
SITTAH:
Female, 30’s. Sister to Saladin; a princess of significant standing, she is her brother’s confidant and chief advisor, a wonderful strategist in affairs of the state as well as of the heart. Well educated, a wiz at chess, very cosmopolitan and not afraid to display any of these traits.
DAYA:
Female, 50’s – 60’s; Serving woman to Nathan, who has helped to raise his daughter Rachel. Respectful of Nathan, completely devoted to Rachel. She is steep in Christian faith and has her bias when it comes to Nathan's Jewishness -- she cannot help but succumb to superstition and, in a moment of weakness, betrays Nathan to help Rachel. Her actions, tragically, have the opposite impact.
BROTHER:
Male, 60’s – 70’s; does the “Patriarch” bidding, he too would rather live a contemplative rather than political life… a gentle man who is allergic to intrigue and double dealing.
AL-HAFI:
Male, 30’s; a mystic who has given up his ascetic life for a place in the court, he yearns for his simpler lifestyle. A whiz at chess, a great mind matched by a great heart – with ample sense of humor.
