MEN
Wilcom Hedman – about 50.
Chair of the English Department, a man of florid taste. He dresses expensively and is fussy about the small details of his appearance. He gestures grandly, rolls his eyes for emphasis, and smiles incessantly. With high self-regard, he expects to succeed the present dean of the college, due to retire in a few weeks. His field is Victorian literature, his favorite poet is Algernon Swinburne, whom he can’t resist quoting whatever the moment.
Jimmy Peabody – 19.
A student at Livingston College. An enterprising and intelligent young man, his passion is the student newspaper for which he writes.
Sam De Luca – about 70.
Senior professor of English, soon to retire. His wife has died recently; in addition to his work, he has gained great solace from his love for fishing. For him, literature opens doors and windows and realities of the human condition, the source of further and deeper solace. Like great music, great writing moves us without being wholly explicable. He thinks Hedman is a fool and takes great pleasure in teasing him.
Matthew Livingston – about 45.
The only son of the college’s deceased founder. Like his father, he went to work early and is self-educated. A man of trim figure and fine voice, he dresses and conducts himself with quiet elegance. He represents a tradition of liberal study outside the academy.
Jacob Stein – about 60.
The President of Livingston College. An entomologist by training; he is a shrewd and intelligent man, an excellent president.
Jefferson Cabot – about 38.
A professor of English, the descendent of a family of distinction from the revolutionary era. Bright and ambitious, with a Yale doctorate, he aspires to the deanship of the college, but is perhaps too young, and he lacks a second book.
Hartley Clare – about 50 – CAST
The department’s postmodern literary theorist and deconstructionist. He is contemptuous of the students, his colleagues, and the school itself.
Jack Henderson – mid-30s.
Well-built and athletic looking, he teaches American literature. His ideological slant is Marxist. He believes all literature is expressive of class relationships and repression. A most likeable young man.
WOMEN
Edna Clare – about 50 – CAST
The wife of Hartley Clare. A seemingly plain woman who wears sensible shoes, ties her hair in a bun, wears large round glasses, no makeup, and clothes that conceal whatever figure she might have. She is a sweet-natured woman who sees that the world is good is in spite of the way it seems to have treated her.
Ilona Cabot – early 30s
From Budapest. She is an attractive, indeed a stunningly beautiful, curvaceous woman, searching for more in life than she has been able to find. She longs to reconnect with Matthew Livingston, who was once her lover. To assuage her guilt, she concocts a plan that she believes will ensure that her husband, Jefferson Cabot, is made dean. She is a vital, captivating woman who enthralls everyone around her.

PRESSLEY
Latino; must be fluent in both English and Spanish. Presley is the oldest of the three brothers and feels a responsibility to protect his younger brothers. Persistent, a worrier, and a planner. He reads the fine print and adheres to it. Runs a construction company, which has made him wealthy and able to afford some of life’s finer things. Capable of manipulating situations and people to control the outcome. Unsure of whether or not he can handle the role of father. Still desperately trying to gain his father’s approval and live up to his father’s expectations.
PAUL – CAST
The middle brother.
PRINCE
Latino; must be fluent in both English and Spanish. Prince is the youngest of the three brothers. Follows his own rules and way of living but is still trapped by his upbringing. Braver than both of his brothers but memories of being locked in small rooms as a child have made him claustrophobic in both a literal and figurative sense. Defiant. Says what his brothers aren’t willing to say.
