ROLES LAUNDRY AND BOURBON Elizabeth Caulder - Strong, sensuous woman. Intelligent but underdeveloped. Would be capable of handling most men other than Roy, her husband. Therein lies the attraction. A woman devoid of self-pity. A forthright person who would call your bluff. Hattie Dealing - A woman whose bluff needs calling. blowsy, brassy, used to getting her own way. Mother, wife, talker. Has an adage for every occasion. Anything that has gone wrong in her life is Vernon's fault. Vernon is her husband. Amy Lee Fullernoy - Bright, sassy, spoiled. Baptist to the teeth. given to gossip. Life revolves around the country club. An old enemy of Hattie's. LONESTAR ROY - lean, tough, beginnings of a beer gut. Dressed in jeans and jean jacket, beat-up cowboy hate,roach-killer boots. Uneducated, belligerent, his army service has nearly given him a sense of irony. Nearly, he voted for Nixon, likes John Wayne movies, and thinks Raquel Welch is a great actress. RAY - his younger brother. He is larger than Roy. Slope-shouldered, sloth-like, slowww. He has no idea what irony is. Wears a John Deere hat. Probably sleeps in it. CELTIS - a friend of Ray's. A wide-eyed asshole. His life should have been terminated in high school. he married the first girl he dated that didn't spit on him. She married him because of his father's applianc store. He works there. Get's lost in the stock room. Has a plastic pocket pencil holder. Sleeps with it. |
