BREAKDOWN
SEEKING
MARION WOLCOTT
75-82, Caucasian. Head of the WOLCOTT family. Mother of 3 daughters. Wry, savvy. Faces life with WASPY pragmatism and dry humor. A striking woman who is never seen without her hair perfectly coiffed and her trademark strand of pearls. Has been hiding her illness for a while.
ALLISON WOLCOTT
43-48, Caucasian. Middle daughter. An elementary school art teacher whose secret dream of being a successful artist remains unfulfilled. Creative, empathetic, frazzled. Single parent to 15-year-old KAT. Finds her uncommunicative teen a challenge. Takes Xanax as needed - a lot. Yearning for a life partner, and about to give up hope.
KAT
14-17. Any ethnicity. Unhappy. Could be 'goth.' Daughter to ALLISON, granddaughter to MARION. Sarcastic, taciturn, angry at the world. Passionate about her art but struggles with self-esteem issues and hides her talent. She feels a special connection with her grandmother. Has abandonment issues with her absent father. She is in the midst of a fractious teen period with her mother.
ELIZABETH WOLCOTT
40-45, Caucasian. Youngest of MARION's daughters. Well-dressed, vivacious and pretty, BETH spends a lot of money and time on personal grooming. She is kind-hearted and fun-loving, but also materialistic and essentially shallow. She knows this and accepts herself for who she is. Attracted to money, she is on her third marriage.
JOANNE WOLCOTT
48-52, Caucasian. She is the eldest daughter. Sanctimonious without realizing it, rigid, anxious. Married to a fundamentalist minister and overseeing a mega-church. She longs for respect from her mother and siblings and remains concerned that they have not all accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts. She is a force, not a flower.
LUKE
33-43. African American. A home hospice nurse caring for MARION and other patients on Martha’s Vineyard. Dignified, kind, and enigmatic, LUKE is a handsome man who is unmarried, fit, and straight.
