PAULINE CLENCH
Charlie’s daughter. (Clarice character or inamorata in Commedia). Was engaged to Roscoe who died but now engaged and in love with Alan Dangle. As one of the lovers, she tends to be a bit “Over-Dramatic”. Full of life. It’s good when it’s good and bad when it’s bad! Must Sing. mezzo soprano (low note A below middle C, high note D mixed)
