PRINCIPAL SPEAKING ROLES:
- [MORTELLE (“THE DEVIL”)]
30 to 50 years old, African, Black, North African, West Indies/Caribbean woman. Lead Role. With zero tolerance for anyone questioning her authority, Mortelle approaches these interviews with a wry sense of humor and an odd hopefulness. She has a deep love for mankind and, with it, no issue pointing out their many flaws. She is tired of running the afterlife and seeks peace. RATE: $250.00/12 - [IPOS]
20 to 60 years old, all ethnicities man. A lord of Hell and patron of knowledge, Ipos is begrudgingly assisting Mortelle in her search for a replacement Devil. His obedience is colored with sarcasm and snark as he considers – why not give him the throne and skip all this nonsense? His prim and proper demeanor helps hide his distaste. Rate: $200/12 - [REMUS CRAWFORD]
35 to 55 years old, White man. A slimy, smooth-talking lawyer who takes great pride in his swindling abilities. Crawford’s career was built on stamping out the “little guys” of the world, and he loves it. He eagerly approaches the interview as an opportunity to capitalize on the devil’s power. Rate: $200/12 - [ANDREW STANTON]
25 to 50 years old, all ethnicities man. A vindictive, preaching serial killer with a fanatic view on religion and a love for hearing his own voice. At a glance, Stanton seems disheveled, awkward, and mild-mannered; given the chance to speak, he quickly drops this facade. Rate: $200/12 - [ELIZA WALLACE]
20 to 60 years old, all ethnicities woman. Curious, polite, and kind, Eliza has stumbled into the interview not entirely realizing what the position was for. Her naturally inquisitive nature offers a sympathetic ear to Mortelle. Rate: $200/12 - [MORTELLE ALTER EGO #1]
