Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | EVELYN | Female 50 - 60 Years old |
Description At first glance, Evelyn appears as the embodiment of judgmental rigidity. She's set in her ways, stubborn in her beliefs, and dismissive of anything that deviates from her vision of her son's future. With traditional views, she believes that marrying into wealth and prestige is the only way to secure her son's happiness. But Evelyn's icy facade conceals a well of emotion, for her primary motivation is to see Beau thriving and content. Her heart is a battlefield, torn between her love for her son and her unyielding expectations. Can Evelyn's heart thaw and find redemption as she learns to appreciate and accept the woman who holds Beau's heart? | ||

Description Violet, a gentle soul in her late twenties, bears the scars of constant criticism and humiliation, inflicted by her mother-in-law, Evelyn. She is the embodiment of resilience, a woman whose spirit refuses to be crushed by the weight of judgment. Violet's journey forms the crux of our story as she navigates the treacherous waters of family discord. She begins as a victim, but through sheer strength of character, she transforms into a beacon of strength and confidence. The question that lingers: How does one evolve from victim to victor, and can forgiveness and acceptance truly heal the wounds inflicted by family? | ||
