GEORGE GOULD STRONG
Male, 30’s-40’s. Edith’s companion and artistic partner in crime; a pianist, George is also Edith’s accompanist; he is a gay man who makes no real effort to hide it, in a time that still required such things. Ability to actualy play the piano is not necessary. Baritone or tenor. Ensemble.
