- The cast is comprised of two actors, plus as many actors as needed to play the off-stage voices of WILLIS, a FIREMAN and some NEIGHBOURS, as well as a CROWD at the end of the play. Voice recordings could also be used to serve these functions.
- Characters
BLONDIN, 45 years old. Tall, athletic, good looking, with a somewhat romantic air about him. Practical, gently spoken, and a good judge of character.
CARLO, 18 years old. Small and slight, he looks 16. Intelligent eyes, full of suspicion, but he is capable of giving himself up whole-heartedly. He finds it very difficult to show his feelings.
VOICES. In the fourth scene, there are voices off: a baker called WILLIS, a FIREMAN and some NEIGHBOURS, as well as a CROWD at the end of the play.
