BREAKDOWN
[CHRIS]
Male, Caucasian, Age 9. Damaged, mercurial, acts out of pain and confusion. He channels his conflicted and confused frustrations into cruel behavior towards his siblings. Aggressive, angry and impulsive. Dyslexic, Resourceful, clever but essentially lost. **NO TALLER THAN 4'7**
[CARL]
Male, Caucasian, 6-8, to play 5 years old. The youngest. Less aware, he escapes the family conflicts which rage around him by pretending to be a dog and interacting in animal speak. Possibly/Probably Aspergers or somewhere on the spectrum. Physically small.
Story line: This play is about the lives of children whose parents are going through an acrimonious divorce and how the events of their lives as very young children, affects them as adults. Act 1 takes place in 1986. All of the children act out their own lives by pretending to be their parents - as they’ve seen their parents - as well as younger needier versions of themselves.
