The star of this dark fairy tale is a femme fatale type in her early to mid 30s whose great tragedy is that her beauty is on the cusp of fading. For this woman, the source of her glory, her pride and her power has always been her physical beauty and her knowledge of that beauty. The actress must be very attractive, though not necessarily conventionally so. It is more important that she has a uniquely striking look and style about her. The world she inhabits is a kind of Paris of the mind, so vintage and/or French styles are welcomed. She must be capable of playing a woman in her early to late thirties.

The mysterious man in the hat, who calls himself an experimental artist, is both the narrator of the story as well as the agent of the woman's destruction. He is charismatic in the manner of magicians, prophets and fiends. Though not necessarily handsome, he oozes magnetism, charm, elegance; he is someone who is capable of enchanting the Enchantress. An enigma, he is a man of exceptional power. The actor should be between the ages of 30 and 50, and must be some one who can appear 'ageless'. Not necessarily handsome, but should be somewhat attractive, or at least interesting to look at.'Hypnotic' eyes. Because he is also the narrator, he must have a good, resonant voice.

Henry the Poet An earnest, wide-eyed young poet with more dreams and aspirations than talent, Henry blames his creative block and his lack of poetic inspiration on language, his surroundings, himself. The actor should be thin and relatively young (between the ages of 20-30).
