BREAKDOWN

THE

BURNING CAULDRON OF FIERY FIRE

SYNOPSIS:

Somew in foggy Northern California, an intentionalmunity tries to live off the
land and keep an unsteady world at bay. But when one of their members dies under mysterious
circumstances, ideals are tested, and faith is rocked. The Burning Cauldron of Fiery Fire is a tender,
funny, probing world-premiere play from Anne Washburn, the award-winning playwright of Mr. Burns,
a Post Electric Play, 10 out of 12, The Internationalist and The Ladies.
All roles will double into multiple parts.

SEEKING:

Milo (As Cast). Male-identified, 30s-mid 40s. A charismatic, weird, disinterested genius with a great
facility for language. The play shows us these characters at different times in their lives, and MILO is
often playing his younger self, so he should be neither distractingly tall nor older looking. Which is to
say he should read younger — maybe

• even than his age and be of average height or shorter.
  Paul (As Cast)
• Male-identified, 20s. He is somehow etal, angelic, sensitive and intelligent, and
  at the same time maybe slightly dorky but charming. PAUL is either handsome or something close to
  handsome.
  Will (As Cast)
• Male-identified, late 20s-30s. He is pleasant and charming but hard to read. Magnetic
  and inscrutable
• think Peter Fonda in

EASY RIDER

— WILL is quite intelligent, watchful,petent,
perhaps ruthless. Attractive. A natural leader. He is genial but guarded, able to fit in, but he is not
necessarily who you think he is.
Simon (As Cast)

• CAST. Male-identified, mid 30s to late 40s. A verymitted long-time
  punk/anarchist/hippie guy. One’s impression of him is that he’s a bit of a weirdo, but a highlypetent weirdo. He has witnessed and partaken of a lot of alternatives. Capable of some serious
  thought extremes but also highly grounded with a lot of different kinds of practical expertise. He is a
  beta but not a follower
• a lieutenant who is very choosy about hismander. Slightly piratical.
  Diana (As Cast)
• CAST. Female-identified, 30s. An experienced member ofmunes; practical and
  efficient
• more of a manager and a leader than a mama bear.
  Gracie (As Cast)
• Female-identified, 20s. A bit of a wise child, but she is also a rather tender idealist
  and a bit dewy.
  Mari (As Cast)
• CAST. Female-identified, 30s. Maternal, and always trying to smooth things over and
  make peace. Think Joan Baez vibes.
  Thomas (As Cast)
• CAST.

Male-identified, 50s-60s. A leader. A philosopher and a storyteller, but
also a guy who has done stuff. He is either an expert thinker who can explain things away through the
philosophy of thismune and what feels like so much philosophy and lived experience, or he is an
expert spin doctor — able to spin any moment on a dime to his ideas and ideals and make people
believe his spin.
