MORE INFORMATION ON:
HELLO, DARLING
SYNOPSIS: Hello, Darling is the story of Sarah, an 11 year old girl, forcing her family to come to terms with her mother’s increasing mental instability. It is a story of a family torn apart by mental illness, and refusing to acknowledge the truth of what is happening. Through the course of the film, Sarah begins to establish her own identity separate from her mother’s and tries to understand how the sexual power that her mother wields fits into her own identity as a female child on the verge of puberty.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS:
SARAH MARSHALL - Female - 11/12 yrs. LEAD Caucasian. Inherited her mother’s good looks and hasn’t quite had her growth spurt yet. Mature for her age when dealing with family matters while still struggling with her own puberty. A Daddy’s girl, Sarah is a social misfit at school with just one friend – a boy who introduces her to the world of pin-ups. Must be able to play intense scenes dealing with her mother’s mental illness and observing sexually seductive behaviour. Drawing skills an asset.
BEATRICE MARSHALL - Female – 35yrs. LEAD Caucasian. Sarah’s mother. Fiercely intelligent. Captivatingly Attractive - she uses this to garner the attention she so desperately seeks to make her the centre of attention again only she is really masking a deep insecurity and inner unhappiness. Increasingly unpredictable in her behaviour, Beatrice is in the throes of a devastating mental illness. Her mood swings and manic conduct will affect her family and marriage adversely, and with tragic consequence.
DAVID MARSHALL - Male – 38yrs. SUPPORTING Caucasian. Sarah’s father. Attractive, successful professional businessman. A good man, David loves his wife and children and is determined to hold his marriage and family together. His commitment to love Beatrice forever through good times and bad (and believing every beautiful woman has a secret in her soul) places him in denial thus never truly helping his family deal with his wife’s illness.
MYRA - Female – 36yrs. SUPPORTING Caucasian. Beatrice’s best friend from College. Beautiful, outspoken and from an affluent family. Myra and Beatrice had once been forces to be reckoned with in their college days. Beatrice got married right out of college and Myra went on to live the exciting jet setting life they both dreamed of. Now on her second marriage, and very happy – Myra has re-entered Beatrice’s life. Always one to be spectacularly honest, this trait will play out against the Marshall family’s dysfunction and David’s denial in particular.
‘WILD’ BILL (WILLIAM) FINN CASPER - 45yrs. PRINCIPAL Caucasian. Myra’s beloved husband. Comes from old money – banking. Adores his wife, reserved but not without a dry sense of humour. Served in the army but seldom talks about it. Not quite sure what to make of Beatrice although he can appreciate her beauty and see how she and Myra were once close.
CONSTANCE MARSHALL - 65yrs. PRINCIPAL Caucasian / British decent. David’s mother – ‘Nana’ - as Sarah and Thomas know her. Well meaning but Beatrice and her have always had a cool relationship. Constance speaks her mind – at times too bluntly – her British nature too sharp/critical of how Beatrice cares for her family, leaving David in the middle and the situation reaching the catalyst of the film.
THOMAS MARSHALL – 6 yrs. PRINCIPAL Caucasian. Sarah’s beloved younger brother. Sweet, gentle little boy – quite fearful and cautious in contrast to Sarah’s precocious nature. Thomas is adored by Sarah even though it is clear Beatrice favours him. Must be able to react to the death of the family pet which will make him panic and retreat to a catatonic state.
CHARLIE SPENCER – 12 yrs. old PRINCIPAL Caucasian. Smart, nerdy kid with horn rimmed glasses of the era. He befriends Sarah, winning her trust after sticking up for her when she is bullied by some female classmates about her eccentric mother. Charlie is the only person Sarah lets ‘in’. Sarah comes to seek solace in Charlie’s “normal” home. Thinking it’s cool, and Sarah will be interested because she draws, he also innocently turns her on to “pin-up” pictures.
DR. H - 55yrs. old PRINCIPAL Caucasian. Beatrice’s psychiatrist. Tries to get David to understand the seriousness of his wife’s illness. He also tries to help Sarah with her anger and to consol Thomas. In the end recommending Beatrice be hospitalized and have shock treatment.
VIVIAN LAWSON - 75 yrs. old PRINCIPAL Caucasian. Beatrice’s estranged mother. Lives in a nursing home with an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s. She was never able to connect with Beatrice having suffered from Depression most of her life.
