Bond is looking for actors to portray a family of eccentrics – the Sycamores – who live by their own rules and the people who come into contact with them. There are roles for actors of all ability levels. The leading roles include Grandpa Vanderhoff, the head of the family; Penny, his daughter, who fancies herself a painter and/or a playwright; Alice, the grand daughter who is not sure of her place in the world; and Tony Kirby, who loves Alice in spite of her family.
Other roles include Penny’s daughter Essie and her husband Ed, the family servants Reba and her boyfriend, Donald: Tony’s disapproving parents, and many more. The full character list and their stage ages can be found here.
