Harper is a woman neither young or old, strong from farm work, but well-worn from a life with more valleys than peaks. She’s also a devout Catholic, and the loss of her daughter has only strengthened her reliance on her faith instead of her reason. She’s not an easy person to be around — she can be dogmatic, uncompromising — but, like most difficult people, she’s disguising a lot of pain, and she relies on her husband’s ability to see the good in her.

Esther has experienced physical and emotional abuse at the hands of the people she should trust most — her father, her priest, and the nuns charged with her care at the Magdalene laundry for “fallen women” — but she’s become adept at burying the trauma. Similar to Harper, she’s had a difficult life that’s made a tough skin absolutely essential; and, like Harper, it takes a man Iike Finn to restore her faith in other people to do right by her.

Finn is a man aged beyond his years, due to the loss of his daughter, his battle with cancer, and the fortitude it takes to hide his diagnosis from his already bereft and grieving wife. A good and understated man, he always sees the good in others, and he always “laughs at the devil,” because what else can one do when life gets hard?

Taken at face value, Cian is a handsome widower, grieving the loss of his wife while raising two daughters on his own. But, like the face of any evil corporation — shiny and persuasive, unusually polite, even kind — he’s disguising a corporate interest that’s silently killing the McGarrigles. This fact weighs on his conscience, though not enough for him to quit his job, or take action to protect them.

An actor with a strong speaking voice to read the Minor roles as well as Stage Directions.

A bit of a meathead, Chris fails to pick up on social cues and is always a little behind in conversations. Chris draws his sense of self from his ability to perform traditional masculinity, especially when it comes to flirting with women.
