Breakdown

Update 3/11:
There have been slight updates to 3 roles in the breakdown. New changes/additions have been italicized. Ages increased in 2 roles/doubled character deleted from Diane’s description

RAY: 38. Korean-American. Born here. Doesn't speak Korean. Acerbic, sarcastic, thinks with his gut. Not one to dwell on uncomfortable or sad thoughts, he likes to stay in motion and keep busy. A guy's guy, he would rather smoke in the back with his friends than talk about feelings. He likes grubby food and is unpretentious, sharp and competitive.

RAY’S FATHER: 60s to 70s. Born in Korea, lived in America for over four decades. An aloof, reserved man who has trouble showing emotion.

CORNELIA: 28. Korean-American. Born in Korea, raised mostly in America. Fluent in Korean and English. Sharp and tough, she is intimidating. But her hard exterior covers (what else?) a soft side. She's a romantic in the guise of a ball-buster.

STRANGER/UNCLE: 50s to 60s. Korean. Speaks only Korean. An old bachelor. Kindly, warm-hearted. A bit eccentric. He is earthy, a little rough around the edges.

LUCIEN: Late 40s-early 50s. Male. West African. A naturalized citizen who came as a refugee. He works as a hospice nurse. He is no-nonsense, matter-of-fact. But he is kind, experienced and comfortable with death as well as with the outsized emotions of those dealing with death.

DIANE: 40. American. Affluent (and not entirely comfortable with it), liberal, well-traveled. She’s affable and warm, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. Has a quality of sadness or lostness that comes out in the briefest glimpses. Also plays VOICE. (No longer doubling as Hospital Worker - character no longer in play)
