Female, 40s - 70s, Iranian. Must speak Persian. Newly divorced and desperate for cash. She holds tightly to her newfound independence and sees vulnerability as a trap. She is stubborn, proud, and deeply allergic to being controlled. Having lived through a regime and a marriage that taught her silence as survival, she is done with both. Armed with a ceremonial sword and decades of survival instincts she treats the robbery as an insistence on being seen and heard on her own terms. Her love is real, but it refuses to look like weakness. Performance Note: A strong presence, restraint under pressure but a willingness to get messy. Dark Comedy not Sketch

Submissions from
Toronto
Role description

Male, 20s - 50s, any ethnicity. The night-shift clerk is a quiet witness. Nervous but oddly uninvested, he complies just enough to stay alive and bored enough to keep reading his magazine. He comes to understand that this robbery isn’t just about money, and he wisely stays out of the argument. He’s not paid to intervene emotionally or otherwise. Performance Note: Subtlety is welcome, as the humor comes from restraint. The performance leans towards understated, natural, and reactive. Dark Comedy not Sketch.
