Breakdown
Seeking:
BROOKE WYETH
(early-mid 40s) Brooke Wyeth is Lyman and Polly’s adult daughter. An attractive woman with a dry personality. She is a writer with lots of ideas and strong opinions. On the surface she has a self-deprecating and somewhat brittle charm. Haunted by her brother’s suicide, she has struggled to overcome a severe depression. She is smart, selfish, impulsive, stubborn, secretive, and wounded. On some deep level, she wants the unconditional love of her parents and blames them for not giving it.
LYMAN WYETH
(60s) Lyman Wyeth is an oak-like, old-fashioned gentleman. He is sturdy and measured, qualities he learned during his past career as a Hollywood B actor. He is dedicated to his family and the loss of his son makes him worry even more about his remaining two children. Lyman is stoic, calm, passionate, and prideful. He has a commanding presence and is very authoritative. However, he has gentle kindness that is revealed, particularly in personal family matters. Lyman wants nothing more than to have peace in his family and to leave the past in the past.
POLLY WYETH
(60s) Polly Wyeth is an elegant, forthright, sophisticated, and whip smart woman, presenting a carefully crafted image to the world. She is tenacious, driven and ruthless with an undercurrent of secret sadness. She does not like weakness and seeks to squash it in others. Polly expects unflinching loyalty from her friends and family and gives the same loyalty back to them. She is hypercritical of the people she cares about, believing it to be for their own good. Polly loves her family deeply and jealously, wanting nothing more than for their happiness and success, as long as it is on her own terms.
TRIP WYETH
(Late 20’s to mid 30’s) Trip Wyeth is Brooke’s younger brother. Witty and self-effacing. He is a TV producer for reality TV – in a family obsessed with his intellectual, older sister’s mental health. He assumes the role of second banana with grace.
SILDA GRAUMAN
(60’s) Silda Grauman is Polly’s sister. Creative, fragile, and funny. A former B movie writer, and the Bohemian, polar opposite of her sister. She is fresh out of rehab and repays the support of the conservative Wyeths by joining Brooke in some liberal needling of her parents.
