Cast Breakdown:

“a man in his late 40s” and a woman in her late 40s”

 

Character Descriptions:

“He is a conservatively dressed businessman in his late forties. His serious black luggage and computer bag are on the ground near him. He probably has some kind of phone thing in his ear.”

 

“She is dressed in what can best be called ‘funky mid-life casual’: comfortable, attractive, but with a certain rebel/hippie flair. Her colorful luggage and shoulder bag are on the ground near her. She holds a log, beautifully carved rain stick.”
