Cast

• CYNTHIA: A woman in her early 50s. She wears a Christmas sweater and “comfort pants” as she blissfully remains busy during the holidays.
• BOB: A man in his early 50’s. His “gay apparel” is a bathrobe and flannel pajamas. He enjoys his own routine, and does not like to stray from it.
• HELEN: Cynthia & Bob's college-aged daughter. She is also in pajamas. She is a sensitive woman, who feels her mother is going to push her off the edge this holiday season.

The Setting
