Character Descriptions
JOY, mid 20's to late 30's, a freelance graphic artist. At the outset Joy has received a life-saving heart transplant, but is conflicted about what to do now. Smart, sometimes acerbic, attractive but rudderless with her new lease on life.
HANK, early 60's. He is nearing retirement as head of a small building supplies company. Husband to Alice and father to Sammy and the now deceased heart doner, Jack, Hank is pushing forward, trying very hard not to wallow or even barely acknowledge his grief and guilt. He can be snappish, abrupt and lately has been drinking more than he ought.
JACK, 36, an accountant with aspirations of being a professional photographer. He dresses fashionably, hipster-ish. Jack is dead at the outset but nonetheless appears throughout the show. He's not ghostly exactly, more of a memory that lingers.
ALICE, early 60's, mother to the deceased Jack and to Sammy. She's a solid, loving, enduring presence. She knows her husband and is aware of what he's going through. She accepts his scorn until she doesn't anymore. A big heart that is dealing with its own pain while trying to hold the family together and do the right thing.
SAMMY, 20's-30's, a pre-school teacher and Jack's younger sister. She's somewhat "new age-y" but with an enormous heart. She really wants to help any way she can. She writes a blog where she might over-share her life , to Hank's consternation. She can give in too easily to her emotions but of everyone, she is the most in touch with them.
NURSE/DARLA, 30'S-60'S, Nurse is very competent if a bit annoying in her approach. She's by the book in all things but, probably because she is so busy, can sometimes condescend. Darla is somewhat flamboyant, artsy, very caring for Joy. A singular soul in habit and dress. She worries about and wants the best for her friend.
