Casting Calls – Lee
A charismatic former army lieutenant with a public school background. His now cool exterior bottles up an explosive temperament. His marriage fell apart when he began physically abusing his wife.

Incapable of getting his life together he sees no point in going on living. Lee, his former lieutenant, is the only person he respects.

Casting Calls – Croftie
Although unable to find much joy in her life she lacks the courage to end it. Nevertheless she believes she can change her colleagues’ minds about ending theirs. She lives with a female partner.
Casting Calls – Alison’s Mother
As ineffectual as many mothers become to influence their married children’s lives. So, she does what she can: worry quietly.
Casting Calls – Aritha
Croftie’s partner. A postal worker. Solid and determined
Casting Calls – Jimmy
Insecure, he’s not sure why he’s there. He believes his wife would be better off if he were dead, free to meet someone who would be a proper husband and a competent father to their children.
