Anita



Played by Verity May Henry

21 years old, a chemistry graduate about to do a Phd. Anita has always been very bright (she was often referred
to as ‘the little madam’ as a child). She is confident, vivacious and smart. She has a very sharp tongue though, and often falls back on sarcasm when she’s feeling
nervous. She does not suffer fools gladly.


Sonny

Played by Sean Verey

Anita’s brother, age 18. He’s just finished his A levels. Sonny is a (non-violent) activist. From a young age he has been concerned about the environment and animal rights. He is an active,  gentle young man, much loved by everyone who knows him.  He is very close to his mother, with whom he has a good, humorous rapport.



Lina



Played by Kaye Quinley

Sonny and Anita’s Mum. 40 something. Works at a garden centre. Lina has been a single mother since her partner died 10 years ago. She is very dedicated to her children, some might even say over protective. She certainly neglects herself in favour of the kids. She has a tendency to take life too seriously, but she does have a wry sense of humour which comes out especially with Sonny.  


   
Raz



Played by Robbie Bonar

Late thirties, early forties. Painter and decorator.  Trying to have a relationship with Lina. Raz is a quirky, kind hearted ex-punk. Originally from quite a rough background, he shook off his past and ended up travelling the world for many years, doing odd jobs, taking in life. He is a breath of fresh air for Lina, and is currently thinking about becoming a Buddhist.
