Young character ages are given in ( ), others are adults.
The TAVERNKEEPER
A jovial sort who lets the world slide off his shoulders. He knows his wife
can be a pain but knows she really has a good heart. The
TAVERNKEEPER'S WIFE The Tavernkeepers wife and resident screeching
harpy. She knows she's a pain and doesn't let anyone forget it and tries hard,
with great success, to not let any patrons know she has a good heart except for
Lily's friends. BRUCE A fisherman
in the tavern. Works on a fishing boat, smells like a fish, drinks like a fish,
tired of eating fish. Likes the tavern because he can sit next to the fireplace
so he's not cold like a fish and where he can forget about having to go home just
yet to his cold fishy wife whos tired of her husband always spending time at the
tavern.
PALMER A fisherman in tavern. See Bruce
above. WILLIS (18)
A fisherman in the tavern. The newest member of the ships crew, not yet married,
can stay out all night if he wants. Not yet inducted into all the nuances
of being a fisherman, ie: all the old jokes are new to him and the others spare
no expense at his expense. He's also going to learn how to play "Pickle".
STORYTELLER
No real pronounceable name to worry about. He's spent too many years on the road,
not quite sane but enjoys not having to pay taxes because he always leaves town
before the IRS can find out what his mailing address is. LILY
(17) Daughter of the Tavernkeepers in the Storyteller's story.
A bit silly, not as scatter-brained as she first appears, somewhat self centered
at first. Just a typical teenager but without the benefits (curse?) of electronic
technology. Winkie/WILLIAM
(9/18) [actor plays both parts]
The poor boy-hero in the Storyteller's story. Lives somewhere in the
forest. Looks like he was raised by squirrels. He wants to be a cook someday just
to know what hot food tastes like. He
fell in love with Lily at first sight probably because she's not covered in hair.
At least she doesn't have fleas, he's not sure about her friends though.
CADUCIAS BLAESHUE (21+)
The Baron's evil son and bad guy that lust's after Lily in the Storyteller's story.
Typical spoiled rich brat who can afford to ignore the law and basic manners.
Hopefully there will be enough air to go around when he kicks it so everybody
can cheer really loud. DIBBLES (Possibly
double for FGHm #1) Caducias' evil temp agency henchman and ambushing
bunny rabbit. Caducias' regular henchmen were out sick so the particularly evil
temp agency (PETA) sent him and Ritz for the week. Extremely incompetent, he can't
get a real job and doesn't work well with others, but the plus side is, his body
is warm and he can stand still for long periods of time. RITZ
(Possibly double for FGHm #2) Caducias'
other evil temp agency henchman and ambushing bunny rabbit. Dibble's twin brother,
see above. SARAH (13)
Friend of Lily's. Wants to be like Lily but with the help of Bethany... Truly
innocent at heart, sweet & charming, a royal pain in the ass. She can get
away with murder and knows it. WILLOW
(14) Friend of Lily's. Used to be like Sarah,
now catching up to Bethany. BETHANY
(15) [Can double as customer wife] Friend
of Lily's. Probably more mature than Lily and the others, probably the most sane
of everybody. SQUIRE TIM
(17) [Can double as customer husband]
Friend of Winkie. On the "not insane" scale, probably # 3 behind Bethany
& the Tavernkeeper. He wants to be a warrior someday and worships the bravery
of Winkie. He's actually the bravest of all he
just doesn't realize it. He'll probably marry Bethany in the sequel.
YOUNG WINKIE [WILLIAM]
(same actor plays both parts) Words cannot
express how much of an idiot he is, oh wait, his Fairy Godmother said "nut job",
yeah, that works. PHOEBE (12)
Young Winkie's slightly older sister. She doesn't even rate a Fairy Godmother.
Enough said... Tresamai, THE FAIRY GODMOTHER (past
her prime...) Winkie's Fairy Godmother. Description: 3rd rate,
engine needs work, needs tranny, needs paint, had new bling installed but wired
wrong, rims are still good, has major rust, failed inspection, speakers blown,
can sell for parts or will trade for food. Call after 6pm. Fairy
Godmother Henchman # 1 Herald & left
armpit support. Fairy Godmother Henchman # 2
Herald & right armpit support. ROBERT
[customer/husband] It was the wrong night to go out, it was the wrong place
to go in. He spent way too much time arguing with his wife about where to eat
so all the good places closed at a decent hour and like moths to a flame, they
went towards the only light they could see. ROSEMARY
[customer/wife] All she wanted was to go to the well lit expensive
restaurant just up the street but no! Her husband wanted to save money. It didn't
matter that it was their anniversary.
Mrs. ELIZABETH
FLUKES [customer/mother-in-law] Don't bother to argue, you can't win
with this one. What's good enough for her? Rather ask, what isn't. | Note:
of course your welcome to add whatever set dressings and whatnot (like a stand
with bags of salted fish nuts for sale). This list consists of things from the
script and is meant as a reference aid to production.
