BREAKDOWN
SEEKING:
LUNA – Black, Late teens – early 20s. A housekeeper in the Forsythe home who hides her gnarled hands with gloves. Observant, thoughtful, accustomed to taking orders, struggles to find her voice. Not without a spine. Has never owned a pretty dress.
MAVIS FORSYTHE – Black, Elderly but spry. The matriarch. Fancy in manners of speech and adornment. Demanding. Believes she's being deprived of death by the ghost of a rabbit. Of sound mind.
MACKENZIE FORSYTHE – Black, Late teens – early 20s. A pretty girl with an ugly secret. Spoiled, boisterous, mean but vulnerable. Hides herself in a closet, hides her pregnancy under a veil of delusion.
JOSH FORSYTHE – Black, Approaching adolescence. Perplexed by the rapid changes taking place within and around him. Immature but wise. A sponge.
LEVI FORSYTHE – Black, Late teens – early 20s. An aspiring preacher troubled by his family's propensity for nastiness. At odds with Asher. Infatuated with Luna. Earnest, pious.
ASHER FORSYTHE – Black, Late teens – early 20s. A devourer who satisfies his appetites with little regard for anyone else. Yearns for a closer relationship with LEVI though he'd never admit it outright.
ALICE / TOWN – Black, A neighbor. Nosey, horny, mean.
PAUL / TOWN – Black, Alice's husband.
PAIGE / TOWN – Black, A citizen of Town. Dry humor.
FISHERMAN – Black, Citizen of Town. Just tryna fish.
TOM / TOWN - Black, a smooth-talking traveler, vagabond, rider-of-the rails. (doubles w/FISHERMAN)
MONSTER / TOWN – Black, a terror. stooped and filthy. (doubles with a male member of TOWN).
TOWN MEMBER – Black, A citizen of this small town.
