CHAPTER TWO Character Descriptions
*George Schnieder *(suggested age 40’s, but age is flexible)
Attractive and intelligent. A recently widowed writer who struggles with
the devastating loss of his wife, Barbara, is introduced to Jennie Malone
by his brother Leo and is encouraged to start dating again. George is
deeply affected by his grief and the memories of his deceased wife, which
complicates his new relationship with Jennie.
*Jennie Malone *(30’s, but age is flexible)
A soap opera actress who is just divorced and is encouraged to meet George
by her best friend, Faye, with help from George’s brother Leo. Jennie is
someone who has been in therapy to understand what went wrong in her
marriage. She is certain she is not ready to start dating again. She has a
sense of humor and a kind heart.
*Leo Schneider *(40’s, but age is flexible)
George’s younger brother who cares deeply about his brother. He is
supportive but is also aware of the challenges George faces in moving on
from the death of his wife. Leo adds a layer of humor and insight as he
navigates the complexities of his brother’s grief and his own struggles
with marriage and infidelity.
*Faye Medwick *(30’s, but age is flexible)
Jennie’s best friend who is dealing with Jennie’s divorce and Faye’s own
disappointment with her husband and their marriage. Faye is neurotic and
anxious which emphasizes the emotional turmoil which can come from longing
for a perfect love that always seems to happen to other people.
The characters in *Chapter Two *are individuals but also symbols of the
human experience of love and loss. They each show us how our thoughts and
fears affect our own happiness and how our self-talk determines what we see
our lives to be. Their interactions provide a rich tapestry of emotion and
insight into being human. The listed ages of the characters are flexible.
