Breakdown
THE MODEL APARTMENT by Donald Margulies
Director: Evan Cabnet
LOLA: 60s/70s Holocaust survivor and recent transplant to Florida. A devoted wife and mother often torn between the two roles. She speaks with an eastern European accent. Takes pride in her appearance. Talkative, a storyteller.
MAX: 60s/70s, a Holocaust survivor who also speaks with an eastern European accent. He is looking forward to escaping to Florida and starting a new life, as he does not like to dwell on the horrors and disappointments of his past. A self-made man, he is still lusty and virile as he enters his sunset years.
DEBBY and DEBORAH (portrayed by the same actress): Mentally disturbed daughter of Lola and Max, mid-30s/early-40s. Debby is provocative, unkempt, disinhibited. Can be outrageously funny and just plain outrageous. Deborah, her half-sister, is sweet, well-spoken, well-mannered, her father's idealized dream child. Debby is morbidly obese, to be represented by a realistic fat suit that she sheds to play Deborah.
NEIL: African-American, mentally disabled, appears to be no more than a teenager, he may be portrayed by a youthful actor in his 20s. More boy than man. Guileless, child-like, he scrapes by on the rough streets of 1980s NYC. He loves Debby, and the attention and care she shows him.
