BACKSTAGE 09.23.21
Understudy: female, 18+, a woman in her fifties. A lifelong New Yorker. A single mother. Receptionist at St. Vincent’s Hospital for many years. Reserved in her manner. Doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve, but is clear-eyed and knows herself. Close with her mother, though they are very different women who consistently disagree with each other. Unassertive, but capable of making big life decisions without a lot of fuss. Edie Falco is cast in the role. Claudette McBride/The Translator/Other Characters Understudy: female, 18+, Claudette McBride is a woman in her seventies. Charley’s mother, Claudette McBride. Outspoken, confident, opinionated. Loves her daughter deeply, but not very carefully. Came to New York young and carved out a life for herself in the West Village –a point of pride for her. The Translator speaks English and Mandarin. An intermediary between the audience and the action. They intervene in the action only when their presence becomes essential. They are otherwise engaged in an act of selfabnegation. Blair Brown is cast in the role. Tessa McBride/Other Characters Understudy: 18+, a woman in her thirties. Charley’s daughter, Tessa McBride. Grew up mostly living with her mother and grandmother. Tough and dry exterior, but lost underneath. Needs her mother more than she wants to admit. Marin Ireland is cast in the role.
