Strong Female Actors for a variety of roles

MAN Male | Adult A mysterious man who watches Frederick and Izzie from outside the mansion and secretly photographs them with a camera. He is an observing presence whose actions suggest that someone is monitoring the couple and gathering information about them. The script does not provide additional physical or personality details beyond his being a man with a camera.

DANCE INSTRUCTOR Any Gender | Adult A confident, direct and no-nonsense dance instructor hired to teach Frederick and Izzie their first dance. They are authoritative and demanding, pushing the two to get physically closer and reminding Frederick that dancing requires trust and connection. The character brings a slightly playful but blunt energy to the scene. The role requires good physicality and comedic timing, as well as the ability to direct the couple convincingly.

NEWS ANCHOR Any Gender | Adult A professional television news anchor delivering a brief on-camera news report about Representative Frederick Holmes' engagement to actress Aubrey Wales. The anchor should have a polished, credible broadcast presence and be comfortable delivering scripted news copy naturally and efficiently.

Male | Black Caribbean Ernest, affectionately known as Poppa E, is an elderly man with advanced cancer. Though physically frail and declining, his warm, playful personality remains strong. He shares a special bond with his granddaughter, Samantha, who treats him like the grandfather he has always been—not a sick old man. Their playful moments allow him to forget his illness and reconnect with her. Knowing his time is limited, Ernest uses their final moments together to pass on wisdom and remind Samantha to hold onto her kindness, curiosity, and ability to bring joy to others. Warm. Funny. Gentle. Wise. Playful. Frail. Loving. Quietly accepting.

Woman Couple : 35-45 years old: Principal Performer. Open to diversity. Strong acting skills; good sense of humor.

Female, 30-40 years old, any ethnicity. Claire is warm, curious, and emotionally receptive. She has a natural openness toward other people and the world around her, which is why she is immediately fascinated when John and Laura arrive at the house. Where Daniel sees their presence as strange and intrusive, Claire is genuinely moved by their enduring romance. Their intimacy seems to represent something Claire feels is missing from her own relationship with Daniel. When she asks Daniel to kiss her the way John kissed Laura, it is playful on the surface, but there is a deeper yearning underneath it.

As the afternoon progresses, she becomes increasingly frustrated by Daniel's discomfort and his desire to make them leave. To Claire, his resistance feels unnecessarily closed-off; she wants to be generous, to remain open to the strange and unexpected experience unfolding in front of them. There is perhaps something in this dynamic that speaks to the distance that has developed between them. At the same time, the intimacy of John and Laura inspires her to keep trying, because deep down she still has love for Daniel.

Performance Reference: Rooney Mara in A Ghost Story. Claire should have a quiet openness that feels grounded and internal rather than performatively vivacious. She is not a social butterfly. Her warmth comes from a genuine curiosity and earnestness toward other people. Her invitation to John and Laura should feel spontaneous and sincere, which makes her fascination with them more meaningful. Intimacy requirement: Implied nudity. Performer will appear in her bra. In one scene Claire is unclothed, seated on a bed in near-darkness, and initiates and performs simulated intercourse with Daniel, straddling him and then continuing on her side. Kissing is also required in an earlier scene.

Male, 30-40 years old, any ethnicity. Daniel is reserved and pragmatic, skeptical about the strange encounter with John and Laura. He doesn't understand why Claire has invited the elderly couple inside and becomes increasingly uncomfortable as they move further into the house. He’d rather continue with the quiet privacy of their day and dislikes having their routine interrupted. At the same time, he finds it difficult to assert himself in the moment, partly because he doesn't want to undermine Claire's generosity.

There is a quiet vulnerability beneath Daniel's guarded exterior. His discomfort with John and Laura gradually exposes a deeper unease in his relationship with Claire: a sense that something between them has become stagnant, and that they have lost some of the intimacy they once shared. As he watches the elderly couple's openness and affection, Daniel is confronted with his own difficulty expressing what he needs. Daniel's performance should gradually move from skepticism, unease, and irritation toward vulnerability and surrender. The conflict and emotion should remain largely beneath the surface; even at his most uncomfortable, Daniel is quiet, restrained, and naturalistic.

A performance reference would be Casey Affleck in A Ghost Story: a restrained, internalized performance where emotion is communicated primarily through behaviour, silence, and subtle shifts in expression rather than overt dialogue and external expression. Intimacy requirement: Implied nudity and simulated sex. Performer will appear topless. Daniel undresses in one scene. In another he is on a bed with Claire, who is unclothed, and performs simulated intercourse with her. Kissing is also required in an earlier scene.

Female, 70-80 years old, any ethnicity. Laura is one half of the elderly couple who arrive at the house claiming to be its former owners. Elegant and effortlessly put together, she carries herself with warmth and quiet confidence. She is polite and socially aware of what she is asking of the young couple, and never crosses the line. It is her kindness, as well as the history she shares with the house, that causes Claire to feel comfortable welcoming her inside.

Having lived in the house for fifty years, Laura is filled with vivid memories of the life she and John shared there. She is nostalgic without being sentimental. She notices the smallest details: the light in the house, the wood panelling, the tree in the garden. Her relationship with John is physical and tender. They have the ease of people who have spent a lifetime together. Their affection should feel genuine and deeply lived-in, enough to make the young couple feel moved by what they are witnessing.

Performance Reference: Charlotte Rampling in 45 Years. Laura is calm and dignified, never feeling the need to convince anyone of anything. She has a fundamentally kind nature, but is content to keep much of what she feels internal. Her warmth should come through in small gestures and subtle expressions rather than overt emotionality. Intimacy requirement: Kissing, slow dancing and sustained physical closeness with John, and slow dancing with Daniel. In one scene Laura lies fully clothed on a bed with John in a still embrace. No nudity.

Male, 70-80 years old, any ethnicity. John is Laura’s husband and the former owner of the house. Distinguished and neatly dressed, he leans on a cane, carrying the physical signs of age with a quiet dignity. Like Laura, John is attached to the house and to the life they shared there. He is simply grateful to have the chance to walk through it again. Unlike Daniel, however, John is comfortable with emotion and physical affection. He takes Laura’s hand, kisses her, dances with her, and isn’t embarrassed by tenderness.

There is also a mischievous quality to John. He enjoys drawing Claire and Daniel into the intimate world he and Laura have shared, gently testing their boundaries by inviting them to dance. His warmth should never feel performative or sentimental - it comes naturally to him.

Performance Reference: Tom Courtenay in 45 Years. John should be calm and composed, with a slightly mischievous edge. His wistfulness is mostly in the eyes. There is no need to make a big show of his emotions. Intimacy requirement: Kissing, slow dancing and sustained physical closeness with Laura, and slow dancing with Claire. In one scene John lies fully clothed on a bed with Laura in a still embrace. No nudity.
