Breakdown
Overall style note: the play needs actors who are adept at language and complicated rhythms and who are playing outside of strict naturalism.
Seeking:
Ray:
Male, any ethnicity, 25-28; a pro-swimmer, an Olympic contender, and he has the body that comes with it; seems quite a bit dumber than he really is, surprisingly good at getting people to do what he wants; there's something dog-like about the guy, scrappy-but-endearing while at the same time there's the potential for some vicious violence.
Note: Ray wears a Speedo and nothing more for the duration of the play.
Peter:
Male, any ethnicity, 30-35, Ray's brother, a lawyer; over being a lawyer, and would like to quit and make a new career in sports management; quick on his feet; his mouth moves fast and his brain even faster; quite important that he not be at all slimy; like his brother, grew up poor and fought to make a more comfortable life for himself.
Coach:
Male, any ethnicity, 50s, maybe older; Ray's coach, for a very long time; a kind of father figure, old pro, steady, but never quite had the break-out success he wanted. At first he seems to be the moral center of the play, but as the story progresses, his code-of-ethics shows some serious cracks.
Lydia:
Female, any ethnicity, 30-40, ex-physical therapist; lost her license for selling black market pharmaceuticals; Ray's ex-girlfriend, feels quite betrayed by the guy for being spineless; she's a tough lady, a little more mature than Ray. She would really like to see Ray admit he's wrong and make things right.
