30.
Roz
Married to Nick, hostess of the party. Playing age 30 to 55, must be a couple
with Nick and sister to Joyce.

order to secure the part of Gigi in the next show. Playing age 20’s
Derek
Married to, but separated from, Deidre and in a depressed and suicidal state.
Morose and boring. Playing age 40 to 55.
