2 roles
Sylvia’s husband. A refined, “distinguished gent with a lover’s spirit.” He may appear respectable and stable, but underneath, his loyalties and feelings are complicated. Entangled in the web of affairs and deceptions. Physical / Performance Notes: Needs a balance of dignity and vulnerability. Believable as a gentleman, but also capable of comedic panic or confusion. Comfortable with farce pacing and quick reaction work.
(or thereabouts, though exact age is flexible): She’s described in the script as “an awfully pretty, sometimes wise, nincompoop.” She’s naïve, sweet, perhaps a bit ditzy, but also occasionally offers piercing insight. She often reacts to the chaos with bewilderment and innocence, which amplifies the comedy. Physical / Performance Notes: Needs to deliver endearing innocence, comedic timing, and willingness to play “ditzy” with heart.
