SEEKING:
JERRY: 40 years old at the beginning of the play, which moves backward in time nine years. A writer. A dreamer and a romantic. His love of being in love leads him to initiate an affair with Emma, the wife of his best friend and publisher, Robert. Jerry’s naivete prevents him from seeing that he is in the midst of a cruel game. British accent.
EMMA: 38 years old at the beginning of the play, which moves backward in time nine years. Robert’s wife. Owns an art gallery. She rationalizes her affair with Jerry by believing her husband had been unfaithful to her in the first place. She has also had an affair with Roger Casey, a writer also published by Robert. Absolutely remorseless, she (perhaps willfully) doesn’t see the irony or consequences of her actions. British accent.
ROBERT: 40 years old at the beginning of the play, which moves backward in time nine years. A publisher. Married to Emma. Cool, logical, intellectual. Capable of cruelty and manipulation. Aware that his wife has been carrying on a year long affair with his best friend, he eventually uses this knowledge as a weapon to test Jerry, expose him as a fool and would Emma. British accent.
