Character Descriptions:
Corie Bratter (Female – Mid 20s): Newlywed Corie is adventurous, spontaneous, romantic, and energetic. She throws herself into life and experiences, often without planning or other forethought. Instead, she acts impulsively, on the force of her emotions.
Paul Bratter (Male – Mid 20s): In his demeanor and approach to life, Paul is Corie’s opposite. He is a 26-year-old lawyer who “breathes and dresses like 56”, according to Simon’s stage directions.
Mrs. Ethel Banks (Female – Late 40s): Ethel Banks is a widow and is Corie’s mother. She insists she needs to sleep on a board for her bad back, pops pink pills for her sensitive stomach, and fixates on her daughter instead of sorting out her own life.
Victor Velasco (Male – Late 50s): Victor is one of Corie and Paul’s oddball neighbors who Corie furtively sets up on a blind date with her mother, Ethel. Described as “The Bluebeard of 48th St.”
Harry Pepper (Male or Female – Mid 30s): Harry is the telephone repair man and appears briefly in Acts One and Three. He is a “tall, heavy-set man in his mid-thirties, in a plaid wool jacket and baseball cap and breathing very, very hard”. Harry’s presence provides comic relief and a foil for Corie and Paul’s tension.
