ROLES

ROBERT — Male, 30–50
A stubborn, passionate archaeologist with tunnel vision for his discovery. Cynical Northern outlook, with a rarely seen soft side.

CHARLIE — Male, 18–22
Robert’s son and apprentice. Hopeful and charming, but tired of chasing his father’s approval.

LISA — Female, 30–50
Charlie’s mother and Robert’s wife. Calm, kind, and begrudgingly supportive — often overlooking the chaos around her.

“THE MAN” — Male, 30–50
Robert’s business partner. Strange and off-putting, suspicious of both the crew and the world.
