Breakdown
The story of Justine Drake, a YA paranormal romance writer who, in between giving public bookstore readings and fending off internet trolls, accidentally creates a dangerous cult.
JUSTINE (F), 30s-40s. Recently divorced, has just quit her job and is trying her luck at writing as the author of the DRAGON'S BREATH series of YA paranormal romance books. Mild-mannered and a bit unsure of herself, but fundamentally optimistic and kind.
BYRON (M), 30s-40s. Justine's publisher; a former publicity flack who runs a small e-publishing company out of his home. Supportive and a bit sassy, but a shrewd businessman nonetheless.
ROCCO (M), 20s-30s. A disheveled-looking online critic with a deep-seated distaste for the DRAGON'S BREATH books. Has a sizeable ego, an encyclopedic knowledge of fantasy literature and the social skills of a turnip.
LAURA (F), 20s. Justine's number-one fan. Awkward and withdrawn at first, she transforms herself over the course of the play into a fire-and-brimstone preacher, the high priestess of a religion she has invented out of the DRAGON'S BREATH books.
ONE MAN and TWO WOMEN, 20s, to play various Fans, Customers, Panelists, Audience Members, and other Ensemble parts, as cast. Must be able to create a variety of distinct characters.
