The Roles and Sides

Petey | 60s, Male-presenting | Dialect: English regional

Married to Meg, a quiet man, who wants no trouble. 

Why don’t you have a walk down to the shops? It’s fresh out. It’ll clear your head.

Meg | 60s, Female-presenting | Dialect: English regional

Married to Petey, she runs the boarding house. Chatty and a fusspot, but not so smart.

You shouldn't say that word to a married woman. 

Stanley | 30s, Male-presenting | Dialect: English regional

An erstwhile piano player, guest in the boarding house. Wants to keep to himself.

Played the piano? I've played the piano all over the  world. All over the country. (Pause.) I once gave a concert. 

Lulu | 20s, Female-presenting | Dialect: English regional

Party girl, gregarious, attractive.

You're empty. Let me fill you up. 

Goldberg | 50s, Male-presenting| Dialect: London, Cockney

A man on a job.

I believe in a good laugh, a day's fishing, a bit of  gardening. I was very proud of my old greenhouse, made out of my own spit and faith. That's the  sort of man I am. Not size but quality. 

McCann | 30s, Male- or Female-presenting | Dialect: Irish

A man or woman on a job, Goldberg's associate. Irish.

One time I stayed there all night with the boys. Singing and drinking all night.
