Breakdown
Untitled Play
By Ayad Akhtar
About the Show: In the cutthroat world of finance, one man has risen to the top. His next move -- the take-over of a venerable multinational corporation -- may signal end of his reign as the king of finance. But how can he lose at a game when he's the only one making the rules?
ROBERT MERKIN - 40s. Junk Bond Trader at Sacker-Lowell, an investment bank. Merkin is an unusual combination of charismatic leader and behind-the-desk functionary. On the strengh of unparalleled focus and remarkable intellectual gifts, he has emerged as the financier of the age.
RAÚL RIVERA - Mid 30s. Lawyer for Sacker-Lowell. Of Cuban extraction. Wry, playful, ruthless.
ISREAL PETERMAN - Late 30s. Izzy. A corporate raider. Cleveland-born. Intense, rough-hewn, tenacious. Eager to propel himself -- by whatever means necessary -- to the front ranks of American business
BORIS PRONSKY - late 40s. An arbitrageur. MAkes money off rumor and intrigue. All façade, no substance. The proverbial little man in a big man's body.
THOMAS EVERSON, JR - 50s. Tom. Chief Executive of Everson Steel and United, the erstwhile manufacturing behemoth and still-member of the Dow Industrial Average. The steel business has fallen on hard times, and Everson Jr continues to see through the diversification of the company begun under his father's regime. Though not quite the brilliant businessman his father was, Everson Jr makes up for it with heart and loyalty.
MAXIMILLIEN CIZIK - Late 40s. Max. Investment Banker at Lausanne & Co. Advisers to Everson. Urbane, measured, sophisticated. Born in Prague, but brought up in America. Lausanne & Co. is a leading advisory investiment bank, and one of the last of such still connected to the great 19th century European merchant banks.
JACQUEKINE BLOUNT - Late 20s. Jackie. Lawyer for Lausanne & Co. African-American. Harvard Law. Harvard Business. Appealing and ambitious. With balls and charm to boot.
LEO TRESLER - Mid 50s. A private equity magnate. Passionate, popous, lovable, and very rich. A lion of a man with something of a Texas swagger, despite being born and raisied in Connecticut.
GIUSEPPI ADDESSO - Mid 40s. Joe. US Attorney of New York, Southern District. Ambitious. Italian-American.
KEVIN WALSH - Early 30s. Ass't US Attorney, Fraud Unit. Punctilious and indefatigable.
JUDY CHEN - Early 30s. A Writer. 3rd - generation Chinese-American. Thoughtful, penetrating, and undaunted by the titans about whom she is writing.
AMY MERKIN - 40s. Robert's wife. Merkin's college sweetheart. A wizard with balance sheets. Merkin's deepest collaborator.
ANDREAS CHARABIDIS - 40s/50s. Accountant for Pronsky. Of Greek extraction. A workhorse.
MARK O'HARE- 40s. An abitrageur. Irish-American. Born and raised in heyday of Hell's Kitchen. A street fighted who rides the market's currents.
CORRIGAN WILEY - 50s. Attorney for O'Hare. Gruff and loyal. Hailing from a family that has served counsel to generations of the Irish Mob.
DEVON ATKINS - Late 20s. An arbitrageur. A kid. In over his head.
GIDEON MURRAY - 40s. One of Merkin's investors.
CHARLES STWEART - 20s. Chuck. Assistant to Robert Merkin.
