Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Olga | Female 25 - 40 Years old |
Description Olga has been married to Baldur for what feels like an eternity, witnessing the gradual fading of their once vibrant love into a loveless shell of a marriage. She has come to accept this as a natural progression in mature relationships, harboring neither hatred nor resentment towards Baldur, but rather a deep-seated apathy born out of disappointment. Despite his genuine love for her and attempts to be a good partner, Baldur's lack of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and ineptitude render him incapable of fulfilling Olga's needs. Ashamed of her humble upbringing, which casts doubt on their marriage in the eyes of others, Olga battles with internal turmoil. Nevertheless, she maintains a polite demeanor and displays intelligence, albeit with a hint of timidity. When she perceives an insult from Mr. Angers, her determination to uncover its true meaning drives her, revealing an unyielding determination within her desires. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Baldur | Male 35 - 50 Years old |
Description Baldur is a husband to Olga and an employee of Mr. Angers, whom he deeply admires. He is characterized by his lack of intelligence, clumsiness, and lack of self-awareness. Despite his flaws, Baldur is a well-intentioned individual with no malice in his heart. He is subservient, particularly to Mr. Angers, and even harbors a desire to be like him. Baldur's conflict-avoidant nature has caused his marital problems to fester, deteriorating his relationship with Olga. An actor portraying Baldur will have the opportunity to showcase a character with endearing qualities, delving into the complexities of subservience and the consequences of avoiding conflict. | ||

| Lead | Mr. Angers | Male 40 - 65 Years old |
Description Mr. Angers is Baldur’s boss. He possesses a short fuse, simmering with an unpredictable intensity that can erupt at any moment, adding an element of danger to his presence. At the same time however, he yearns for the attention and admiration of others, driven by an insatiable desire to win people's favor. Mr. Angers holds himself in high regard and expects others to do the same, as he believes he deserves nothing less. With a muted intensity that brews just beneath the surface, Mr. Angers exudes an enigmatic aura that draws others in, even as they remain wary of his explosive nature. | ||
