Toronto
Role description

A 20-something urbanite who relies on talking his way through situations rather than facing them. Over the course of a single winter night, his words repeatedly fail as the consequences of his actions catch up with him in increasingly frustrating ways. Cyrus is selfish and performative, aware of his own shortcomings yet convinced that saying the right thing will be enough. Each opportunity to course correct instead reinforces that his bad luck is largely self-inflicted.

An old friend of Cyrus, Oats is easygoing to the point of indifference. He moves through life at his own pace and is seemingly unbothered by the mess around him or the expectations he has abandoned. His relaxed, unmotivated demeanour stands in sharp contrast to Cyrus’ anxious urgency, making him both a comfort and an obstacle. Oats is not malicious or confrontational. His passivity and lack of concern are what frustrate Cyrus most.
