Role # 1 - Cordelia

Seeking 1 talent(s) for this role

Goes by Delia- the daughter and lead- unemployed (used to be a lawyer in a large firm in the city)

Dresses in business suits or dark, fitting clothes, always pulls her hair up tight, usually wears contacts, only wears glasses right before bed.

Delia is neat and clean. She is organized with her clothes and accessories and always wears the same type of clothes.

She likes buying name brand bags and shoes, but no matter how nicely she dresses, she's not self-confident.

Restrained, soft spoken, Delia is submissive and also incapable of rejecting people, quiet and not responsive (slow to talk), she's responsible and polite to co-workers. As a result, they take advantage of her, making her work long hours.

Delia invests most of her time working and pleasing the man she used to date. However, her relationship with this man didn't work out well and he happens to be one of her co-workers in the law firm where she used to work. Therefore, she resigned from the job six months ago.

Although Delia calls home to catch up with her family weekly, neither of her parents knows she is unemployed. In fact, over the past ten years since she moved to the city from her parents' rural home, her mother has been the one she talks to. She's always been especially reserved with her father.

Role # 2 - Cordelias' Father

Seeking 1 talent(s) for this role

Just retired from a managerial position in a furniture company two years ago.

He has a workroom in the attic and hangs out there most of the time.

He likes reading the newspaper and building furniture in his workroom. It is also his escape, so he typically doesn't like people to drop in.

Bold, thick eyebrows; frowns, wrinkles, smoker, quiet, thoughtful-looking, and serious.

The father devoted most of his life to work and providing for his family until his retirement.

The job in the furniture company was so stressful that he used to take it out on the family by being a critical father and husband.

His belief that education will provide his daughter a better life causes him to be strict with her.

He wants his daughter to have a more decent job than he does. Therefore, he has been a demanding father with high expectations for his daughter.

Because of his harshness, Delia, his daughter is distant with him.

The mother, the gentler parent, naturally becomes the bridge of their relationship.
