Looking for Northern UK actors for February short film.
A sensitive story about ageing and letting go, it is bittersweet but uplifting – madcap but ethereal. Plot summary at bottom.
LOOKING TO CAST:
> MOLLY: (60-80) wicked wit and tough facade, but during the story she lets go of her unfulfilled dreams of dancing and motherhood, and ends life celebrating her marriage (Irish accent)
> PATRICK: (60-80) Molly’s kind-hearted departed husband, a joyful, gentle Ferryman leading Molly to accept her coming future (Irish accent).
> MEG: (25-35) Molly’s care worker, a proud former professional ballerina now chafing at her new career (Irish accent).
> ROSIE: (40-55) Molly & Patrick’s intelligent and supportive daughter stable but sometimes easily flustered. Like Patrick, she is a spirit who guides Molly to celebrate her life as it is ending. (Irish accent).
