Principals (2m, 5f)

• Genista Royal - a harassed looking woman in her sixties, wearing dark mourning clothes
• Velma Newton - in her fifties, extremely waspish, and wearing expensive mourning clothes, complete with veiled hat, open topcoat and matching accessories.
• Fordyce Newton – Velma’s 30 year old step-son, distinctly precious, dressed in an expensive dark suit, and overcoat.
• Miriam Holt - in her late forties, slightly overweight, wearing a black suit a little too small for her, and high heels, much too high

• Bella Moore - in her early forties, heavily made-up and wears a brilliant red two- piece suit with matching accessories and high-heeled, peep-toe shoes.
• Donna Moore - in her twenties  and heavily pregnant. Thick mascara smears her over-heavy make-up and she clutches a crumpled, cosmetic smeared handkerchief.. Tartily dressed, and bedecked with cheap silver bracelets, rings, and facial furnishings, she is the perfect match for the muscular Troy.
• Troy Jarvis – in his twenties, not too bright, sports a variety of ear-rings, eyebrow and nose rings, etc. He wears faded, distressed jeans and a sleeveless leather jerkin over a shirtless  torso that boasts a collection of gaudy tattoos.

Support (1m, 1f)

• Rev Arthur Peasegood - in his late sixties, earnest and full of good-will. He wears a dark suit and  dog collar
• Cissie Cunningham - is over seventy, and  although somewhat frail and supporting herself on a stick, she is quite alert. Like the others, she is dressed in mourning and carries a handbag
