Breakdown

Seeking the following role and understudies for all roles:

MARTIN:
Mid 30s. A solidly built maintenance worker. Simple, innocent and kind. Diametrically opposite to Eddie, he feels like a lost traveler swept up briefly in their storm. He represents the hopeful, but dull future ahead for May if she chooses to let go of Eddie for good.

The following roles have been CAST:

MAY:
[CAST - Nina Arianda] Early 30s. Eddie's former lover. An enigmatic Everywoman type. Simultaneously strong-willed and vulnerable. She can keep up with Eddie's verbal gymnastics and power plays. She craves stability, affection, self-empowerment and independence. She is torn between the fantasy and memory of their love and the reality and pain of their past.

EDDIE:
[CAST - Sam Rockwell] Late 30s. A proud cowboy, who is rarely off his horse. There's a particular broken-down quality about his body, as if he's aged long before his time. A Marlboro Man type. Trapped by a self-defining adolescent myth, he has taken to liquor. His passion and competitive nature tend to get him into trouble.

OLD MAN:
[CAST - TBA] Mid 60s- Mid 70s. Scraggly and weathered appearance. The surreal and humorous father of both Eddie and May. A contrarian. A selfish and naïve man, whose bad habits have rubbed off on his children. In the past, figments of his imagination have allowed him to convince himself that he could balance two lives without consequences.
