3 roles
Liam would like to be directing other things than photoshoots. He’s not so unprofessional as to let it show, but we can sense a slight weariness at having to deal with these women. There’s a resigned patience to his actions and each smile he makes we feel is professional. For Liam, this photoshoot is a job. And not the job he wanted.
Elaine really doesn’t mean to be so patronizing. But Jessie seems from another world. The world of her grandma.
Hesitant without being nerdy, Lawrence is a shy young man with enough wit to make a joke and enough spirit to turn up at the WI hall in the first place.
