The characters in this play are meant to be played by only four actors. The roles are divided as such:
Actor One, male, late teens, plays JAMIE, MATTHEW, TOM
Actor Two, female, late teens, plays EMILY, ANNA, MARTHA
Actor Three, female, late thirties, plays JAMIE’S MOM, AUNT CLARA, MAGGIE Actor Four, male, ageless, plays the DOCTOR
Costuming should be as simple as possible so that the actors can transition quickly and easily between roles. In an ideal staging of this piece, actors will be on stage at all times, inhabiting the world of whichever of their characters will next appear in the play.
