Description
CHARACTERS
Vic Norman – A tough guy used to bullying his way into whatever he wants, who begins to feel the rug pulled out from under him.
Officer Jaekel– A longtime associate of Vic’s, equally tough and self-centered. He is a big man, physically intimidating and ready for anything he can imagine.
Raecher – Tall, gaunt, pale, intense eyes, long canine teeth, dressed in black, highly intelligent. He seems to burn with a powerful fire, yet there is something missing from his humanity. No matter what emotion is visible upon his surface, it is always apparent there is something dead in him.
All three men should be of about the same age as they went to school together years earlier than the events of this play.
PRODUCTION HISTORY
