THE GAME
SYNOPSIS: Alyssa and Homer are in a marriage that’s hit a glitch. And it’s all due to the massively engrossing online game that’s wreaking havoc on the lives of couples everywhere. When Alyssa puts together a support group for other women in a similar situation, the game enters a new level where all’s fair in love and war. Bekah Brunstetter’s (NBC’s This is Us”) hilarious and heartfelt play brings technology and community together in the most unexpected ways.
ALYSSA: 30-40, female presenting, any race/ethnicity. Architect who loves work, exercise, and organizing drawers. Frustrated that her husband, Homer, spends all of his time playing The Game but sincerely loves him and wants her marriage back.
HOMER: 39, male presenting, any race/ethnicity. Spends his time 24/7 playing The Game, a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG). Loves his wife but has been struggling since losing his job.
CLEO: 20s, female presenting, any race/ethnicity. Visibly 4 or 5 months pregnant, wide-eyed and young. Still in the honeymoon phase of her marriage but loves the female companionship.
MYRA: 70s, female presenting, any race/ethnicity. She doesn't quite seem to understand exactly where she is, but she's up for anything. Sometimes she bestows the wisdom of her age and other times she has no idea what the women are talking about.
RHONDA: late 40s, female presenting, any race/ethnicity. Wears ridiculous clothes that you might find deep in a clearance rack and is obsessed with Poshmark. She looks like she's trying to be 8 different women at once.
JEN: 30s, lesbian, female presenting, any race/ethnicity. Quiet, terrifyingly smart, and a bit awkward. Hides behind her camera and snaps a picture of someone every now and then.
