The Sisters:
Iphigenia: a young woman on the verge of maturity
Electra: extremely problematic woman in her late twenties or early thirties
Chrysothemis: an enigmatic cool presence, a few years older than Electra
Orestes: their brother, a young man who has seen too much to be young anymore.
CURIOUS INCIDENT…
Five Women, Five Men, One Dog
If you play a small instrument (harmonica, flute, violin, spoons, washboard, percussion), please bring it. Accents will be used in the production.
Christopher Boone: 15-years-old. Christopher experiences life differently from most people. He loves math, Sherlock Holmes, outer space and the color red. But, he very much dislikes being touched. Other people’s behavior confuses him, as do their facial expressions.
Siobhan: (Age not specified) Christopher’s teacher at school and narrator of the play. She is smart, patient and kind. It is her idea for Christopher to write the story of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”
Ed Boone: Christopher’s father, late 30’s to early 40’s. He runs his own heating repair business. He is largely very patient with Christopher, but has a violent temper.
Judy Boone: Christopher’s Mother, late 30’s to early 40’s. She is easily overwhelmed by Christopher’s behavior and by her role as mother.
Sandy: Live dog who appears for a few minutes at the end of the play.
