ROLES: We will be casting 3 roles: Catherine, Hal, and Robert. The
role of Claire has been cast. All actors will receive a stipend.
Catherine: a young woman who inherited at least some of her father's
mathematical genius, and, she fears, his instability as well; she gave
up her life and schooling to take care of his father until his recent
death (female/age range 21-28)
Harold “Hal” Dobbs: one of Robert’s last PhD students during the one year
his idol and mentor’s illness was in remission; he is an unremarkable
mathematician, and he knows it (male/age range 21-30)
Robert: a recently deceased mathematician who did brilliant work in his
youth, but whose later years were plagued by delusional mental illness; he
is seen in Catherine’s imagination and in flashbacks (male/age range 50+ -
old enough to have 2 grown daughters, but too young to die)
