BREAKDOWN
BORN YESTERDAY
Paul Verrall: Mid-Thirties, a reporter. Paul is handsome, but in a studious way. Perhaps it’s the glasses that suggests he is not a man of action. Take them off and he can stare right back at you.
Billie Dawn: An ex-showgirl. Late 20s-mid 30s. The script calls her “breathtakingly beautiful, breathtakingly simple.” Regarding “simple,” the script is referring to first impressions only. The first part is absolutely true.
Harry Brock: 40s. A large man who likes to intimidate people. A bit of a narcissist. He’s come to Washington DC to take corrupt advantage of things and make millions for himself.
Ed Devery: 50s-60s, a dissipated lawyer. He’s lost his self-respect, though he remembers when he had it. He serves greed, trying to make it appear legal.
Eddie Brock: A large brother to his larger brother Harry. Eddie does what he is told and uses whatever authority Harry entrusts to him.
Senator Norval Hedges: 50s-60s. For sale. TV news provides distinguished examples every evening.
Mrs. Hedges: 50s-60s. Norval may no longer like her. She may no longer like him. One can’t always tell, but she has all the requisite social graces and holds up her end.
Helen: Hotel Housekeeper. Age is flexible. Doubles as Manicurist.
Assistant Manager: Any age. Obsequious. This role will double with waiter and or other small roles.
________________
NUNSENSE
Reverend Mother Sister Mary Regina: 50ish, maybe older. Mezzo-Soprano and former circus performer who is no longer in her original “circus shape.” Loves to perform. Mezzo
Sister Mary Hubert: In charge of novices. Second to Mary Regina, doesn’t like second. Mezzo
Sister Robert Anne: Brooklyn accent, former child delinquent, unrefined, slight problem with authority. Mezzo
Sister Mary Leo: Aspires to dance ballet. Still a novice. Spirit of play. Mezzo
Sister Mary Amnesia: She has lost her memory to a head injury. She knows she is a nun, but that is about it. She is a legit soprano who can also sing with a country twang. Since she doesn’t remember who she was, the audience will often be surprised by what she can be.

TALLEY'S FOLLY
Matt Friedman: 42 years old, a warm-hearted, gentle soul, in his speech Matt retains a trace of his German Jewish origins, but he has a talent for story-telling which gives him other voices, as well. Like a good story-teller, there is something wise about him, the sense of an expanded perspective. He is a man in love
Sally Talley: 31, the author credits her with the trace of an Ozark accent which she can jettison for more stately Midwestern speech. She is attractive, pretty, but not glamorous—at least, glamor is something she would not pursue. She thinks less of herself than she should for very personal and private reasons..
