ARISTOCRATS
Synopsis: Set in Ballybeg Hall in County Donegal, Brian Friel’s Chekovian masterpiece chronicles the decaying home of District Justice O'Donnell, where the family congregate for a wedding, but stay to attend a funeral. Friel's tale of three sisters and their eccentric brother reveals the way 'in which the ache of one family becomes the microcosm for the ache of a society.
WILLIE DIVER: Mid 30s. A handyman from the local village. A good-natured fellow always willing to lend a hand. Northern Irish Accent.
TOM HOFFNUNG: 40s-50s. American. Mild mannered, calm. Studious, curious. Comes from the academic world. Mid-American accent.
UNCLE GEORGE: 70s. Very eccentric. His mouth never stops working. All his gestures informed with great energy as if he were involved in some urgent business. Anglo-Irish Accent.
CASIMIR: 30s. Eccentric. The only son of the house. There is something unique about him — informed perhaps by his physical movements & distinctive mannerisms. Anglo-Irish Accent.
ALICE: 30s. Lively. Gregarious. Alcoholic. Drinks too much to cover the memories of a painful past. Anglo-Irish Accent.
EAMON: 30s. A local who married into the Big House. Boisterous and lively but with a bitter sarcastic side. A heavy drinker - can be abusive. Sometimes a smoldering presence. Northern Irish Accent.
CLAIRE: 20s. The youngest daughter. A gifted pianist. Suffers from mood swings. Highly energized at times and often withdrawn and solitary. She is about to be married to a local older man. Anglo-Irish Accent.
JUDITH: Late 30s-40s. The eldest of the daughters who stayed home to take care of their ailing father and homestead. Pragmatic. No nonsense. Anglo Irish Accent.
