Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Joy | Female 24 - 35 Years old |
Description Joy is a young mother with a sharp wit, edginess, and a "take no shit attitude". Unapologetically herself, Joy is rebuilding a life after getting out of the sex trade - she is always on the offence except with those she cares about. The role requires emotional depth, vulnerability, and the ability to deliver sharp, candid moments with conviction. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Daisy | Female 10 - 12 Years old |
Description Daisy is Joy's rambunctious, and unpredictable daughter. Daisy has a strong will and an offbeat charm, often challenging her mother's patience and sparking tension in their everyday interactions. The role requires a natural presence and the ability to bring Daisy's defiant personality to life. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Leanne | Female 21 - 30 Years old |
Description Leanne is Joy's loud-mouthed, fun-loving best friend. Leanne has seen some things and is the only connection Joy has to the past. She is fiercely supportive, with a childlike energy that hides her own struggle to survive. She brings levity to Joy's world but is no stranger to the weight of a past like theirs. | ||
