BREAKDOWN
All roles CAST. Seeking understudies for the following:
ROBIN Understudy
Male, mid to late-60s. BRITISH ACCENT REQUIRED. A father to four adult children. Married to HAZEL, and a former colleague of ROSE. Charming, dramatic, and genial. He is weary, but wily and has the ability to transform from boorish to noble in the blink of an eye.
HAZEL Understudy
Female, mid to late-60s. BRITISH ACCENT REQUIRED. Mother to four adult children. Married to ROBIN, and a former colleague of ROSE. A super-organized yogi in denial of her body’s dilapidation. She is a wholly determined creature of habit, who exudes domesticity even in moments of crisis.
ROSE Understudy
Female, mid to late-60s. BRITISH ACCENT REQUIRED. Voluntarily childless. She takes life as it comes. She has a distinct sexual power. Warm, loquacious, enigmatic, and self-possessed.
