VANYA
50s, living a small life in Bucks County, PA where he cared for his aging parents. He is logically resigned to his life, more or less. He has secret aspirations of writing a great play. He is a pot that simmers patiently until it suddenly and fervently boils over.
SONIA

SPIKE
29. An aspiring L/A actor. Sexy and self-absorbed, he is Masha’s new boy toy. His claim to fame is his final callback for Entourage 2. He appears in his underwear and must be comfortable with his body.
NINA
20s. A lovely, sincere aspiring actress of unknown talent. Earnest, innocent, star struck and enthusiastic.
CASSANDRA
Any age. A wacky and outspoken cleaning lady and soothsayer. Preferably ethnic -African American, Latina, Asian, etc

ANTHONY
42. Tony’s put-upon, good-hearted son. A realistic and self-defeating idealist and dreamer, he is a non-confrontational, misunderstood and sensitive man who feels things deeply. Painfully shy, he is secretly in love with Rosemary yet unable to take action. He is a misfit with a shameful secret and a philosopher’s soul.
AOIFE
70s. A recent grieving widow, she is in bad health and not too much longer for this world. Blunt and highly opinionated, she has some spunk left in her and calls things as she sees them.
ROSEMARY
37. Aoife’s daughter. Stubborn, determined, feisty, practical, she has a temper and is determined to get what she wants once she sets her mind to it. She is determined to have Anthony. Confrontational, proud and beautiful, she is a strong willed woman.
