Late 40s - 50s. Ex-husband of the Older Woman. About to re-marry for the third time. Avoids his past and tends to his immediate needs. Deeply connected to his daughter (her death opens up his emotions for the first time in ages). Cannot handle the realization that he may have failed her, and so he attempts to block it all out

Late 20s - 30s. Hastily married to the Younger Man when she became pregnant. In love, but overwhelmed by circumstance. Suppresses her subconscious urge to be alone, and instead clings to her family. When she sees herself reflected in her daughter, she blames herself. Less knowing version of her older self. (She is the younger version of the Older Woman, and she ages from Early 20s to Early 40s during the course of the play.)

Late 20s – 30s. Robust, poor but optimistic. Youthful and exuberant. Clings to the Young Woman — not self-sufficient. In love, but naïvely confident. Runs from conflict. (He is the younger version of the Older Man, and he ages from Early 20s to Early 40s during the course of the play.)

20s. Soulful, pensive. Solitary, but not depressed. Reflective and inquisitive. When the Friend introduces her to the idea of desire, she keeps him at bay, but ultimately cannot resist the beauty of his calm. (She goes from a young girl to a young woman in her 20s during the course of the play.)

Man, 30s - 40s. Charming, mysterious, magnetic, compelling, but quietly/understatedly so. Serene and calm. Even-keeled, if illusive. His attractiveness is deeply internal. Death personified - not especially dark, but ethereal. Initially lures the daughter for fun, then realizes he cannot resist her.
