MALCOLM
AGED 50+ YEARS
SINGLE
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.
TOM
AGED 18 – 25 YEARS
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
JERRY (to be played by same actor as Tom)
Twin brother to Tom, mixed up with the local gang and up to no good

WILLIAM
AGED MID – LATE 60+s

SALLY
