BREAKDOWN
SEEKING THE FOLLOWING ROLES & UNDERSTUDIES:
Marc / Man #2 / Agent #2 / Consul Sharpness
Male, Caucasian, 30’s to 40’s. Marc is Gallimard's popular friend from childhood, a traditional, confident, heterosexual male. Charming, but tends towards vulgarity and boys will be boys misogyny.
Helga / Woman at Party
Female, Caucasian, mid 30’s to 40’s. Gallimard's wife. The daughter of an Ambassador, she is a pleasant and charming diplomatic wife, who values order, socializing and keeping up appearances.
M. Toulon / Man #1 / Agent #1 / Judge
Male, Caucasian, 40’s to 60’s. Gallimard's boss, Toulon is the French Ambassador to China, mid-1960's. Likes gossip, alcohol, and his diplomatic status, but ultimately proves cowardly.
Comrade Chin / Suzuki
Female, Asian, mid 20’s to 30’s. A Chinese Communist functionary from a peasant family, she serves as Song Liling's handler from the Party. A tough fireplug of a woman. A true zealot and believer, she finds her assignment and Song himself distasteful, until the Cultural Revolution gives her some real power. Must have humor.
Renee / Pinup Girl
Female, Caucasian, East 20's. Renee is a Swedish student studying Chinese in Beijing in the mid-1960's, a free spirit and proto-hippie exploring cultural exchange and sexual liberation. Gorgeous. Nudity required.
