The character breakdowns are as follows:


WILLUM CUBBERT

M, celebrating his 34th birthday, architect, lacking in gumption,  
sweet, vulnerable. A classic good guy.

TANSY McGINNIS

F, Willum's girlfriend, Strong willed, loving, protective.

AXEL HAMMOND

M, Willum's sardonic friend, theater critic, manipulating, crafty,  
aloof with a wicked sense of humor, incorrigible, a real rascal.

WARNOCK "Ticky" WALDGRAVE

M, Willum's client; "The last time Mr. Waldgrave smiled was forty- 
seven years ago, and then it was gas." A hard-ass, no nonsense, hard  
to please brass tax kind of guy.

CLELIA WALDGRAVE,

F, Warnock's wife, "a picture of tasteful, studied patience, but not  
because her life is devoid of anxiety." A woman holding back many  
years of suffering in silence.

THOR WALDGRAVE

M, 8 years old, "there are good little boys; there are also  
precocious little boys, which is to say bad little boys whom we can  
somehow find it in our hearts to forgive. Thor is neither. Thor is a  
monster..."

RICK STEADMAN

M, Willum's fellow Vietnam veteran, a clumsy oaf of a bespectacled  
nerd and a house guest from Hell.
