ROLES
Staff Sergeant "FROGGY" LeSUEUR
British, in his late 40s
Froggy is well-fed and flushed with the spirit of adventure. His cheerful patter puts us in mind of those salesmen we have heard. He is a career military officer in the British Army, and a longtime friend of Betty Meeks and Charlie Baker.
CHARLIE BAKER
British, in his late 40s
Charlie seems quietly, somehow permanently, lost. His has a sad face. For twenty-seven years he
has worked as a proofreader for a science fiction magazine. His wife, Mary, considers him shatteringly, profoundly boring. Mary is back in England, gravely ill in the hospital. He’s often wondered: “how does one acquire personality? What must it be like, to be able to tell a funny story? To arouse laughter. Anger. Respect. To be thought—wise?” He’s not good at making idle conversation. He has an active fear of talking.
BETTY MEEKS
Senior, born and raised in Georgia.
Betty speaks the hardy local Georgia dialect, and, like everyone, is wise about some things and naive about others. She is a chatterbox. She is the owner of the Meeks's Fishing Lodge Resort - a log farmhouse that used to be the home for her and her husband; her husband died a few years ago. She is a longtime friend of Froggy LeSueur.
OWEN MUSSER
Born and raised in Georgia, in his late 30s
Owen is the newly appointed property inspector for Tilghman County. He has a dank presence. Psychologists tell us to beware of a man with two tattoos. One, he may have gotten on a drunk or a dare. But two means he went back. Owen is a two-tattoo man. Twenty years ago, he was a soldier in the Vietnam war.
CATHERINE SIMMS
Born and raised in Georgia, age 19-25
Catherine is engaged to Rev. David Marshall Lee. She was a debutante. She is Ellard Sims’ older sister, and his guardian after their father died. Their father’s will stated that if she thought Ellard were smart enough to handle it, she should give him half the family money.
REV. DAVID MARSHALL LEE
Born and raised in Georgia, age late 20s - early 30s
David is engaged to Catherine Simms. He has a friendly, open face. He is neither the stereotypically pallid, remote young divinity student, nor the hearty, backslapping evangelist. He seems rather to be a regular fella— humorous, and open, and, it would appear, a good young man to have on our side.
ELLARD SIMMS
Born and raised in Georgia, teenager
Ellard is Catherine Simms’s baby brother. There doesn't, we must admit, seem to be much to him. It took Ellard three years to learn to read. He is a backward youth who only wants to please everyone.
