BREAKDOWN

EMMA

SEEKING:

[HARRIET SMITH] She/Her, 20s-early 30s, any race or ethnicity. A deeply likable girl from the lower classes, who’s been given a basic education. A sweet, naturally affectionate human being, but not the brightest flame in the stove. A born enthusiast; the kind of person who leaps WAY before she looks. Has a strong tendency towards hero worship. A born follower. VERY impressionable. Has a desperate adoring friend crush on Emma. Wants to be in love. Gets flustered easily. A bit naïve.

[MR. KNIGHTLY] He/Him, 30s-40s, any race or ethnicity. A handsome man; a super charming man; an upright fellow. He’s also a bit of a rule-follower; maybe sometimes a bit of a stick in the mud. Very clever. Capable of getting ahead of himself and edging towards know-it-all. Can be competitive. Is preoccupied with Emma—they get under each other’s skin in the most delightful way. Gets quite jealous of Frank Churchill. Has the best intentions. Feels deeply. A genuinely good guy. Ultimately learns to admit vulnerability and share his feelings.

[FRANK CHURCHILL / AS CAST] He/Him, 20s-30s, any race or ethnicity. An incredibly charming, handsome, mischievous flirt of a man—the kind of man who gets away with almost everything, because he’s so irresistible. Not a bad guy, really; just a bit too likable for his own good. Ladies love him. Funny. Gossipy. Clever. A little spoiled and manipulative. A bit unused to hearing “no,” and as a result, doesn’t really believe in “no.” Can be callous or unthinkingly cruel or self-indulgent. Wishes to reform, but can’t.... always.... help himself. Enjoys half truths and innuendo. Is, underneath everything, in love with Jane Fairfax—but that doesn’t mean other women become uninteresting to him. Doubles as ROBERT MARTIN—a sweet groundskeeper, in love with Harriet. Non-speaking. May also double as Mrs. Bates.
