MALCOLM

AGED 50+ YEARS

He takes himself extremely seriously and has no sense of humour. A highly anxious person who suffers from stress rashes. Prides himself on being an active member of the community and diligent book-keeper of the Charity shop. Has loved Sylvie from the moment he laid eyes on her.

 

MARGARET

AGED 80+ YEARS

Witty, sarcastic, perverted and very switched on for her age. Has a big heart which she hides with jokes and sarcasm. Deeply loyal.

 

SYLVIE

AGED 50+ YEARS

A very sweet natured woman. Never Married. Kind-hearted, forgiving, and a devout Catholic. Is still grieving the loss of her best friend Judy. Someone who bottles up frustrations rather than confronting them. A conflict avoider and easily flustered. Oblivious to Malcolm’s feelings for her.

Good natured and hard working. He is the pick-up and delivery boy for the shop. Tries to do the right thing and protect his wayward brother Jerry. Has much respect for the others in the shop

Twin brother to Tom, mixed up with the local gang and up to no good
