This is the full breakdown of what is required for each role. There are numerous small parts and single line vocals, so if you would like to be considered for these, please inform us.
Joe - rough diamond but a diamond nonetheless.
Sarah - girl next door, slightly more middle-class background.
Emmo and Lewis -Joe's best mates, loosely related to him and taken in by Joe's Mum. The former is a big kid who would chase sticks if you threw them, the latter a more sensitive lad with a more exposed moral nerve.
Billie and Angie - Sarah's best mates, sharp-tongued and sassy with their eyes on a way out of their lowly social beginnings. Intolerant of males, except well-bred ones.
Joe's Mum, Kath - beaten down by life but never beaten, a heart the size of a house with a huge, feisty love for her family.
Joe's Dad - a man of fun and spirit who married the right woman but took the wrong path in life, died as a result, and is now desperate for his son not to repeat the pattern.
Reecey - a smiling, charming, superficially likeable force of darkness.
Mister Pressman - like Reecey, except middle-aged and in control of a large company.
The other characters - schoolkids, relatives, barristers, clowns, dogs, prisoners, market traders etc - are many in number and can be played by a cast of infinite size. One joy of Our House is that it is hard to conceive of a cast shape in which everyone doesn't at some point have their moment.
