The dramatic action is scripted and structured. The dialogue has structured elements but requires improvisation.
GRANDMOTHER
Female. Age range: 50-65. Ethnicity: Caucasian
Practical, matter of fact personality until she has a few drinks and the façade drops. She
has a silly sense of humor which sometimes falls flat. She also has a deep emotional side
that she tries to keep in check.
GRANDDAUGHTER

A lot like GM except she wears her heart on her sleeve. She is overwhelmed by her loss

place around her body in bed. Requires actress to have her clothes changed by GM and
GD and be zipped in a body bag.
GRANDPA

Deals with his emotions through humor but remains strong for GM. Able to cry and
show his feelings. Very jovial.
