CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Hetchman - Age: 55 - 99/Ageless
Our hero. Hetchman the hatmaker. He wears a hat. Curmudgeonly. Despite being “old,” they are not necessarily old old. They are old in the way your math teacher could be fifty or ninety. Ageless. They also all speak with a quasi-Eastern European accent.
Hetchman’s Wife - Age: 55 - 99/Ageless
Wife of Hetchman. Nondescript. Does she have a name? Who knows. Despite being “old,” they are not necessarily old old. They are old in the way your math teacher could be fifty or ninety. Ageless. They also all speak with a quasi-Eastern European accent.
Meckel - Age: 55 - 99/Ageless
Hetchman’s neighbor and only friend. Meckel is cheerful, popular, and kind. He is the opposite of Hetchman. He also wears a hat. Despite being “old,” they are not necessarily old old. They are old in the way your math teacher could be fifty or ninety. Ageless. They also all speak with a quasi-Eastern European accent.
Voice - Late 20s to early 30s
A young woman. Strong, hard-working, either wise or smart, she doesn’t know yet. Hyperfixates.
Gabe/Golem - Age: Late 20s to early 30s
Voice’s boyfriend. Easygoing in a way Voice has never been. Problem-solver…to a fault. Will also play Golem - A golem, a la the Jewish golem of Prague. Speaks through sounds; does intuit what is going on. Eats a lot. Made of mud. Has a strong male presence.
Wall - A wall, probably female, that speaks with a quasi-Eastern European accent. She has seen the history of this house and ventures to tell the story. Patient, or maybe not.The wall is realized in the play as an unseen voiceover, brought to life by scenic and theatrical magic.
