On assignment at an upscale hotel, a cheerful sex specialist inadvertently becomes the chosen confessor to a businessman’s decades of criminal activity only to become the target of his psychopathic bodyguard. Her escape through the communicating door becomes a time traveling device where she meets the businessman’s wife, a kind and confident woman. Needing to go back and forth through time, they race to rewrite history and save themselves. Four of the six characters will be required to play different eras and ages and will be aged up or down as necessary.
Roles Available: 3 Females, 3 Males
Reece: 70 and 30 years old, a highly successful businessman who has stopped at nothing to succeed. Decrepit and sickly at age 70, then jovial and charming at 30, then charming and warm at 70.
Jessica: 25 and 45 years old, Reece’s first wife. Happy but ditzy and a bit flustered honeymooner at age 25; confident and calm at age 45.
Ruella: Reece’s second wife, age 45 throughout; a strong, compassionate, warm and kind person with a great sense of humor and poise.
Phoebe: Aged 33 throughout. Dominatrix by trade, but rather innocent and vulnerable when not in character; likeable and funny.
Julian: Aged 45 and 65; Reece’s longtime business associate, best friend and hired killer. A maniac who has killed his mother and many others. Psychopath. Brutal. Powerful.
Harold: Aged 35 and 55; officious and overly proprietorial at age 35; at age 55 wants to please his customers; harbors a dream of boating on the Mediterranean.
