Production Description
Rachel Watson longs for a different life. Her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window every day, happy and in love. Or so it appears. When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness- and even a suspect- in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.
Seeking
Local actors for The Granite Theatre’s upcoming production of
Girl on the Train, May 26, 2023 – June 10, 2023.
Roles
-
Rachel: (F, 20’s-30’s) complicated and, at times, unlikeable and unreliable. She is deeply depressed over her infertility and a failed marriage, which causes her to turn to alcohol. She longs for what she believes to be a happy suburban family life, desperate to matter to others and be helpful. Despite her flaws, she is guided by a strong moral compass and empathy.
-
Megan: (F, 20’s-30’s) - appears to be a model wife and glamorous beauty, but that is far from the truth. Haunted by her painful past, she is unable to confide in anyone, condemning herself to a string of superficial relationships that distract her from an overwhelming sense of guilt.
-
Anna: (F, 20’s-30’s) - defines herself by her looks and her sexual power over men. She has no moral compass or empathy for those around her but is instead ruled by self-interest.
-
Tom: (M, 20’s – 40’s)- appears to be a supportive ex-husband who continues to care for Rachel long after their divorce, an attentive husband to Anna, and an adoring father to their baby girl. As it turns out, he is a compulsive liar and has gaslighted Rachel throughout their marriage, holding her responsible for his violent outbursts. He blames the women in his life for any shortcomings.
-
Scott: (M, 20’s – 40’s)- very much in love with his wife, Megan, yet has a jealous and impulsive nature. When jealous, he flies into fits of anger and violence, regretting them afterward.
-
Dr. Kamal(a) Abdict: (M/F, 20’s – 40’s)- – kind, gentle, and warm-hearted therapist
-
Detective Gaskill: (M/F, 30’s – 60’s)- – strong detective with good instincts, but also compassionate
