Cast of Characters
| Jack |
Thirty-seven. A gardener. A little dim-witted, but
earnest and sincere, trusting to a fault. A klutz with a heart of
gold. He’s a dreamer who is more drawn to the dream than the
reality. He likes to dream beyond “the wall,” and he
likes other people who dream beyond “the wall.” What
he learns is that sharing that dream with another person is enough
for him even if he never actually gets beyond “the wall.”
|
| Jill |
Thirty-eight. An internist. Feisty and business-like to a fault.
She is clearly repressed and finds an explosive sexuality within
her that is released by Jack. This is a frightening prospect for
her because she can’t control it, and if Jill is anything,
she’s a control freak. She does not trust that others will
take care of her in anyway, and knows without a doubt that she will
have to captain her own fate even to the point of battling destiny. |
| Bo Peep |
Forty-ish. Jill’s best friend and older cousin. Her mother
and Jill’s mother are sisters-in-law. Brassy and biting one
minute, sensitive and motherly, the next. She has accepted her lot
in life and goes with it, never really communicating her joy or
displeasure with her situation. |
| Georgy |
Thirty-seven. The Congressman of Banbury Cross and Jack’s
best friend. A womanizing, sleeze who has completely sold out. He
is jaded and gives the worst advice anyone doesn’t ask for.
However, there is a charm and a wit about him that makes him loveable
and attractive. Really, he is a very confused man filled with inner
turmoil. |
| The Mice |
3 hip mice that make up the famous jazz
trio, The Three Blind Mice. Beatnik types,
cool, happenin’ cats (so to speak), who have
had their tails tragically cut off by the
farmer’s wife and just happen to be blind. |
| |
Mouse #1 The bass player. |
| |
Mouse #2 The piano player. |
| |
Mouse #3 The drummer. |
