Seeking (all roles are available unless otherwise specified):

Katherine Greer:

Early 20s. Completing her undergraduate work. Walking in her father's footsteps and, aspires to be a poet like him. Attempts to seek his approval, yet wants her own recognition and to truly find her own calling.

Edmund:

Mid - late 20s. Graduate student. Smart, quick-witted, with an edge. Not easy to know; can be easy and charming, then unexpectedly threatening. Appears certain of himself, driven by a blinding sense of righteousness.

John Greer:

Late 50s – early 60s. Assumed to be the next Poet Laureate. Allows himself to be coddled and protected when it suits him. Revealed under his passive, civilized personality is a man capable of insensitivity, cruelty and hubris -- all of which is ultimately self-serving.

Diane Greer:

CAST. Auditioning performers will be considered as possible (emergency) replacements, should any become necessary. Mid 40s – mid 50s. John’s wife; has orchestrated his entire career. Controlling, over-protective, sarcastic, fierce mother-of-the-den.
