Characters:

Oscar Madison

Aged 44-52---Divorced and living on his own. He is pretty much a slob, untidy with little care for tending to his surroundings, which is a large and very nice 8 room
apartment in the upper eighties of New York. He has relaxed into his environment. He hosts rowdy poker nights and is generous with his apartment and with his friends.

Felix Ungar

The opposite of Oscar: Mid 40’s, Very fastidious, well dressed, loves to spend time in the kitchen and everything has to have its place and be in it. He is the kind of person who would run around cleaning ashtrays after each cigarette. Just plain fussy! He is also very emotional and seems to have a list of maladies: sinus problems, back problems, emotional problem, etc. (Many of which might be for attention.) Since he is having significant marital problems Oscar has invited him to live with him for awhile until he gets things sorted out. Their relationship is oil and
water.

Speed, Roy, Murray, Vinnie

Oscar’s poker buddies: 40’s-50’s. These are an assortment of “Character Types.” They enjoy playing cards together, but you would never know it the way they rag at each other. It is just good friendly ribbing, teasing and jabbing each other. These poker nights are their nights away from the wives.

Gwendolyn and Cecily Pigeon

The Pigeon sisters—in their 30’s. British sisters living in Oscar’s building. Oscar looks at them as potential dates for himself and Felix. Very sweet and accommodating and quick to laugh.

*Age on all characters is a bit flexible.
