BREAKDOWN

INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP

SEEKING:

LINDA O’SHEA (19-year-old female) Linda is highly intelligent, caring, and curious. She alternates between thinking she knows everything and thinking she knows nothing. Responsible and rarely impetuous. Narrates the story directly to the audience.

JOSEPHINE ‘JO’ O’SHEA (late 40s, early 50s female) Jo juggles more plates than Cirque de Soleil. A great mom who defines multi-tasking. She's also a little more emotional and prone to outbursts than usual because, well...you’ll see.

THERESA ‘TERRI’ CARMICHAEL (late 50s female) Terri is definitely going through a rough patch, but she is not a depressive or phlegmatic. Think Thelma Ritter or Eve Arden, with a touch of Dorothy Parker. Fast talker.

BECKY O’SHEA (18+ to play 13-year-old, female) Becky is an unusual child. Bright and verbal. Full of energy and a crazy-huge imagination. She speaks quickly, not unlike some of the characters in the movies she loves, like "His Girl Friday."

MIKE O’SHEA / FATHER LOVETT / BETTY HECKENBACH (50s, Male). MIKE is loud, loyal, and single-task oriented. His definition of a father is: Breadwinner and disciplinarian. Lousy listener. FATHER LOVETT is an old school, Catholic priest. Egotistical, imperious, and pampered. Unused to any kind of pushback from parishioners or anyone else for that matter. BETTY HECKENBACH. There is a Betty Heckenbach in everyone's life. She's right up there with death and taxes—only less fun. Played absolutely straight—no winking or flamboyance. Just a homely, judgmental, middle-aged woman sticking her big puss into other people's business.

SYNOPSIS: Eighteen years after the death of Christ, Peter seeks out Mary Magdalene, whom he banished after the crucifixion. Peter needs an ally against a self-proclaimed Apostle angling for power in the growing church. In MAGDALENE, the author of FREUD'S LAST SESSION and BECOMING DR. RUTH offers a startling new look at two historical figures and the clash that impacts the course of Christianity.
