Roles:
- McAllister,
65, a farmer and publisher of a small town newspaper: McAllister
jaded on the outside, but a softie underneath. - Johnny,
40ish, a farmer: Johnny’s not a man prone to talking about how he
feels or why he feels the way he does. - Caroline,
30ish, a farmer: Caroline is young enough to have her whole future
in front of her, old enough to know it isn’t what she wants. There’s a
restlessness and wildness in Caroline’s eyes. - Hendrik/Mike/Collector;
Hendrik, 70, Johnny’s father: Dutch immigrant to Canada. Mike,
40-55, a land speculator: Mike is a former resident of this town. Not a
popular kid in school, but he has made a success of himself as an adult.
Collector, age indeterminate: The Collector’s eye for a deal and his
friendly negotiating skills make for a memorable character turn.
