Storyline
Pink Heart is an interpolation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. After sending an ambitious text to a girl and getting an ambiguous response, Dashiell is visited by three of his closest friends and gets their opinions on how he should proceed.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | DASHIELL SCOTT | Male 18 - 23 Years old |
Description A charming, yet socially inept young man, who has never had a long-lasting relationship. His dry wit is often off-putting to many, as it acts as a natural defence mechanism. He is selfdestructive and always thinks the worst of people until they prove him otherwise. He’s morally complex and emotionally oblique. However, he’s trying to change his ways… | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | BETH CRATCHIT | Female 18 - 23 Years old |
Description An intelligent, girl-next-door type, who seems to be Dashiell’s perfect match, sharing similar interests, hobbies, and a dry sense of humour. She has no problem calling people out when they’re being rude, including Dashiell. Beth is a free spirit, who wants to experience life and all that it throws her way. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | MARCUS | Male 18 - 23 Years old |
Description Direct and observant. He is the social butterfly of the group, the glue who keeps his friends united. He notices when something is off and isn't afraid to say it. He is Dashiell’s friend but is not afraid to call him out on his behaviour. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | PETE | Male 18 - 23 Years old |
Description Rational and straightforward. He tends to look at situations more logically, and less emotionally. He is a listener, more on the introverted side, but he cultivates a small group of friends who he cares for deeply. When Dashiell starts to overthink, he brings him back to reality. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | CARMEN | Female 18 - 23 Years old |
Description Blunt and confident. She is not (and doesn't try to be) patient, she acts. Carmen is outspoken and only keeps a few people close to her heart. She doesn't try to decode Beth’s message. Instead, she pushes Dashiell to act rather than spiral. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Actor | PARTY GOER | Male 18 - 23 Years old |
Description A guy at a party! | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Other | JACKSON | Male 19 - 24 Years old |
Description Tall and athletic. The most confident in the room, contrasting with Dashiell. No dialogue. | ||
