BREAKDOWN
A Comedy of Manners without the Manners” A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
seeking:
Veronica Novak
(late 30s-early 50s - Michael’s wife):
A writer - she pictures herself as the queen of social conscience and common courtesy – but is really judgmental and domineering. As the situation disintegrates she fails to maintain her crumbling façade of civility.
Michael Novak
(late 30s-early 50s - Veronica’s husband):
Initially eager to create peace, his uncouth nature is slowly revealed. He makes racial comments, denounces child-raising, and progresses from a seemingly good-natured hardware store supplier/salesperson to a neurotic Neanderthal.
Annette Raleigh
(late 30s-early 50s - Alan’s wife):
At first presenting herself as an elite member of the one percent (she has a career in ‘wealth management’), she is actually on the brink of a panic attack. Her self-confidence has been eroded by her husband Alan’s eternal preoccupation with work.
Alan Raleigh
(late 30s-early 50s - Annette’s husband):
An openly rude corporate lawyer, he frequently interrupts their meeting by talking on his cell phone. As he says “I have no manners”. At first seen as cool and aloof, he is sexist and always acts in his own self-interest.
