Character information:

Freddy – The owner and bartender of Lapin Agile. He is the boyfriend of Germaine and seems to be a simple-minded man but occasionally says something truly stunning.

Gaston – An abrupt and direct old Frenchman with prostate problems, who talks plainly and only seems to care about love and drinking.

Germaine – A waitress at the Lapin Agile. She is Freddy’s Girlfriend. She is beautiful and thoughtful. She has many ideas of what the 20th century will be like.

Albert Einstein – A 25-year-old scientist with big aspirations. He is a genius, with a book on the way called The Special Theory of Relativity. He often finds himself having to explain his theories and thoughts in a simpler fashion to the rest of the group, as he is wise beyond his years.

Suzanne – A beautiful 19-year-old girl who is infatuated with Picasso. Suzanne and Picasso have already slept together, and she is left hurt and angry when he doesn’t remember her. She has red hair.

Sagot – Picasso’s art dealer, who is obsessed with finding and selling great pieces of art for profit.

Pablo Picasso – A talented and charismatic 23-year-old painter. Extremely egotistical and self-confident, he is a serial womanizer and master of manipulation.

Charles Dabernow Schmendiman – A young inventor with huge dreams and little knowledge. Although he is hardworking, he is overshadowed by the genius and talent of Einstein and Picasso.

The Countess – An extremely intelligent and attractive woman, with whom Einstein is infatuated. She thinks like he does, being the one person to really understand him in the play.

A Female Admirer – A young admirer Picasso assumes is a fan of his, but who turns out to be an admirer of Schmendiman.

The Visitor – A polite and talented country-boy time-traveler, who adds another dimension and point of view to Einstein’s and Picasso’s debate. He is a blue-suede-shoed musician. (He is young Elvis)
