Characters

  • Casting: 19M or F
  • Casting Attributes: Reduced casting (Doubling Possible), Expandable casting
  • Casting Notes: Maximum of 37 roles for 19 performers. The six Lethargarians may serve as a chorus that plays all the smaller roles throughout the play. I would suggest that the Ministers of King Azaz’s Cabinet be played by separate actors, but they also, may be played by the Lethargarian chorus. Several other small parts may be played by the same actor as well.
