FRANK |
Male | Any Ethnicity | Age: 60 - 85 Frank is a patient recovering in a hospital during the holiday season. He is the kind of man who seems to carry the weight of the world in a quiet, measured way. His eyes, tired but sharp, he misses nothing, but there is a distance in him, a retreat to some inner place where memories outshine the present. He is polite, offering only what is required. Yet, beneath the reserve, there’s warmth. Performers should be able to embody the full arc of Frank’s journey, from looking disinterested, ‘distant’, slightly resistant to his nurse’s overtures of kindness, to being able to do the opposite and show caring, kindness, and happiness, and a growing mutual respect with Claire. Must have valid passport for travel to/from Canada.
CLAIRE |
Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 33 - 39 Claire is a busy nurse on the floor of the hospital Frank is receiving treatment. She’s the kind of person who can turn a hospital room into something warm, almost home. That’s what we witness her do with Frank. She is able to break down his defenses while having the utmost respect for him. And that’s why when Frank recoils and becomes distant again, it hits her so hard, and it hits us so hard. The woman should be able to convey a sense of caring, kindness, she looks like she works hard but is soft and easy to like. Talent with a nursing background is a plus! Must have valid passport for travel to/from Canada.
