</div><div><br></div><div><font color="#000000"><b><u>Pack of Lies Info:</u></b></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><div>A suspense drama about a family caught up in an undercover investigation involving espionage – that may involve their next door neighbors and best friends. How well do you know your neighbors – and how much do you trust your government to tell you the truth? Where do your loyalties lie – with your friends or your duty as a citizen?</div>
<div><br></div><div><b><u>Character Breakdown (5F, 3M):</u></b></div><div><div>(Ages listed for characters are as in the script -- obviously, casting decisions regarding actual age of performers will depend on turnout) </div>
<div><br></div><div>Barbara Jackson – 40’s, a typical fussy British stay-at-home mom, worried about her teenaged daughter, protective of her home and its privacy, loyal to her friends. Maybe a tad nervous.</div><div><br>
</div>
<div>Bob Jackson – 40’s, Barbara’s husband, more unflappable than his wife, an everyday, hardworking upper-middle class fellow, not ostentatious or nosy or pushy, a go-along, solid-citizen sort. </div><div><br></div><div>
Julie Jackson – their daughter, 16-18-ish, old enough for mom to be worried about her habits and the company she keeps. A typical suburban teen, independent, carefree, a bit adventurous, generally responsible. </div><div>
<br></div><div>Helen Kroger – could be anywhere from 30’s to 50’s – the next-door neighbor, Canadian (or is she American?), informal, a talker, generous, friendly, curious, a little goofy at times. Bob calls her “Dizzy Lizzie” -- but she’s more competent and steady than he thinks. Seemingly the perfect neighbor and confidante, and a great and genuine friend to Barbara and Julie. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Peter Kroger – Helen’s husband, 30-s to 50’s – Of the two, less easy to know, almost all business, more private than his wife, less chummy, keeps to himself. Reins Helen in at times. </div><div><br></div>
<div>Mr. Stewart – 40’s and up, self-described as a government bureaucrat, involved in anti-espionage work. Affable, officially pleasant, polite. May seem a little absent-minded and offhanded – but he gives away very little information, guarded without appearing overly so. Efficient, breezy, matter-of-fact. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Thelma and Sally – a couple of Stewart’s undercover “young ladies,” , 20’s and up. Thelma’s probably the younger of the two, affable and charming, and she gets friendly with the Jacksons and becomes concerned about how they’re handling the stake-out. Can snap to business when the situation demands. Sally keeps the family more at a professional arm’s length and is the briefer role.</div>
