CHARACTER LIST

LOCATION:   The small provincial town of East Orleans on Cape Cod.

MADISON MOODY– Late 30’s: She's really bad, and she's really MAD! Beautiful, chain smoking, expletive-spewing wheelchair-bound woman. People are drawn to her at first... then wish somebody will have the guts to kill her.

POE BANGO – 15-year old girl: Quirky, oddly pretty and intelligent, she is depressed after moving from San Francisco to this provincial town... until she starts visiting some alternate realities.

COLONEL OPAL MAYO – 60’s/70’s: Small but strong and ferocious, this ex-army colonel lives in the lonely world of dementia, until she meets Poe, who wishes to share it with her.

AUNT VIRGINIA – 60’s/70’s: Madison and Grace’s gentle aunt is the previously mortal and now very aggravated Aunt Virginia, who, as a ghost, attends AA meetings.

GRACE BANGO – Late 30’s: Madison’s younger sister and Poe's mother. Grace is very sweet, but has a drinking problem and has a habit of making serious errors in judgment.

DIRGE BANGO – 30’s/40’s:  Poe's father is a bearish looking, but gentle man, unless provoked by the unrelenting, gossipy folk of East Orleans. But no one provokes him more than his sister-in-law, Madison.
  

CANDIEGO – 30’s: Good looking, Hispanic man meets Madison on a train. He is drawn to her and repulsed by her at the same time.

NURSE GLORIA – late 30’s:  The lumbering, angry, pill-popping nurse who runs the “Ann Coulter for President” website. 

FLO – 40’s/50’s: The obese, giant haired, 6-inch nailed and heeled, beauty consultant queen of the Cape, who becomes Grace’s mentor.

JOEY and MARLA:  Joey is a macho man who collects Barbies and dresses them as, i.e. Osama Bin Barbie, Barbie Dahmer (Jeffrey’s twin sister) and shows them at conventions. His repulsively ugly wife fawns over his genius.

TIFFANY – 10: Joey and Marla’s daughter who talks through her father’s show dolls. 

UNCLE HENRY – 60’s/70’s: Meaner than a junkyard dog, Uncle Henry has always had a special feeling for his niece, Madison.

LORD – 30’s/40’s: Gaylord’s brother and ex-crack addict AA preaching blowhard.

OFFICER KEVIN SNOW –   AA-attending active alcoholic cop who is always harassing the Bangos.
