Character Breakdown **Please note, the roles of Alice and Joan have already been filled.** Alice – (20s – early 30s – Woman Identifying) Our patriarchy smashing, mission critical, trouble making, fist pumping, angst-ridden, inner joy finding, setting your hair on fire hero. **THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST Joan – (40s to 50s – Woman Identifying) Alice’s mother. Behold the field in which she grows her f*cks. It is barren. Maybe a witch? Maybe not a witch? Totally bat sh*t crazy and ready to smash anyone who gets in her way, but we should LOVE her for it. **THIS ROLE HAS BEEN CAST Susan – (20s to early 30s - Woman Identifying) Alice’s best friend, a young mother, unhappy with her life but afraid to shake the status quo. Margery – (30s to 50s – Woman Identifying) Joan and Alice’s neighbor. She is sour. She is entitled. She is a harpy and the literal worst. But she means well… Betty – (20s to early 30s – Woman Identifying) A young woman treated as hysterical for being unhappy about her arranged marriage. The nerve! Ellen – (30s - ? – Woman Identifying) A “cunning woman.” She’s pro-woman. She’s pro-choice. She probably went to Hogwarts. She absolutely reads tea leaves and talks to her cat. She gonna get it. Jack – (30s – 50s – Man Identifying) The asshat married to Margery who probably needs Viagra, but blames women instead, because, you know, the patriarchy. Goody – (any age – Woman Identifying) Packer’s assistant, who is a total looney toon and the kind of zealot we all wish we didn’t recognize. Man, Doctor, Bellringer, Packer – (20s – 50s – Man Identifying) This actor will play many roles, some of them juicy, none of them pretty, all of them typical. Kramer and Sprenger – These roles will be played by the same actors portraying Joan and Ellen. |
