About the play: To the fairy king Oberon, greatness is a fat paycheck, a booming love life, and a throne to retire to at the end of the day. To his half human daughter Iris, greatness is good friends, and a life spent on stage. As their hopes clash, Oberon catches wind of Iris's crush, an overthinking playwright at the center of her amateur theatre company. In a desperate attempt to "help" his daughter, Oberon orders some love potion to be sent in the direction of her crush, resulting in Iris's entire theater circle to find themselves madly in love with her. As the performance date of their summer production looms and all are too busy with wooing to put pen to paper, Iris is forced to embrace her magic, find her stage voice, and fight for the life she longs for.
Roles available:
Iris- feminine presenting, early to mid 20s. Illegitimate half human daughter of fairy king, she is terrified of her powerful but chaotic magical abilities. Theatre fanatic and aspiring actress. Gentle and soft spoken, but do not mistake her gentleness for weakness.
Oberon- masculine presenting, 40s-50s. Fairy king, torn between upholding tradition and questioning it. Longs to be a good father to Iris, but not quite sure how. Bumbling and intrusive, but well meaning.
Pandora ("Pan")- Feminine presenting, 40s-50s. Retired rock star and mom to Iris. Free spirit and, "the cool mom". Fiercely protective, fiercely loving.
Titania - Feminine presenting, 40s-50s. Fairy queen, wife to Oberon, mother of Basil. Advocate for ruling with an iron fist, often clashes with Oberon over governing matters. Fiercely resentful of Iris, bitterness and insecurity are at the heart of her being.
Basil - masculine presenting, late teens to early 20s. Iris's younger brother, entitled and obnoxious.
Peri- fluid gender presentation, mid twenties -30s. They are
Oberon's right hand fae. Chaotic to an impressive degree.
