ROLES
Evan (Late 30’s)
Australian
Identical twin brother to Jack, Bea’s husband who is away fighting. Evan couldn’t go to the front due to his failing eyesight. He is close to Daisy and acts as a buffer between her and her mother.
Bea (Late 30’s)
Australian
Bea has the weight of the world on her shoulders. She is struggling to keep the family bakery business afloat while her husband is away fighting. Daisy is a constant source of worry and irritation and Bea is trying to protect her and keep her focussed.
Daisy (15–18)
Australian
Daisy is a passionate and strong-willed 16 year old who longs for her young life to have more meaning. She has a fractious relationship with her mother whom she feels she can never please. Loves her Uncle Evan and is very close to him
Jack (20–24)
New Zealand
Jack is a 24 year old NZ soldier who has been invalided out of the war due to losing an eye. He has what we would now call PTSD from his time at the front and gets startled by sudden and loud noises. He is sweet on Daisy, which proves difficult as Bea is very protective of her.
