Breakdown:

• Constantinople – (pre cast: Mathys Herbert) He is a giant new-born baby, dead. He should be played by a fully-grown, very tall man. He is slippery, as unclothed as possible. Unearthly, disturbing, and charming.
• Morgan – Constantinople’s mother, 41, fierce, grieving, all angles.
• Dolores – 18, at odds with the world, beautiful in an alien way, from time to time a dominatrix.
• Elena – A midwife, a young 30, strongly principled, scared.

10 hour rehearsal process- July 8-10, Staged Reading on July 10. No pay, non union only.
