Breakdown
DAMIS
20s or early 30s. A poet, comically out of touch with reality and with an extravagant, sweeping verbal style. He is capable of great comic-lofty disquisitions on love though he has no experience with women, and though not necessarily the most handsome of mortals he is the most romantic -- in other words, he is a Cyrano. This is a leading part for a character comedian/actor adept with language and physical business. Good verse training a must.
BALIVEAU
50s. Damis’ uncle. A grumpy, tetchy judge from the provinces, he hates all things aesthetic and works against his poet-nephew's plans. This is the classic ill-tempered uncle of all old comedies. Some physical size wouldn't hurt.
MONDOR
Late 20s-30s. Damis’ valet. He is honest and smart and much more in touch with reality than his master. A trickster with a sarcastic wit, he is in love with Lisette, plotting to win her. Must be a comic excellent with physical business, spry and appealing. An underdog with a will to win, he must also win over the audience.
LISETTE
20s. Lucille’s maid. A classic comic French maid, sexy, dry, and down to earth. She is crafty and constantly directing traffic. She wants to be part of the upper class because she knows she has the brains. Keeper of all the secrets, she knows what's what and who's who. She gets to impersonate her mistress in a kind of play-within-the-play.
