CHARACTERS

LESTER LAMB
Not totally reliable, but a good father. Honest and kind.

ORIEL LAMB
Powerful, Godfearing matriarch of the family.

FISH (SAMSON) LAMB
Nearly drowns early in the show. Mentally disabled son of Lester & Oriel. Very challenging role.

QUICK (MASON) LAMB
Fish’s older brother – Called Quick because he is as unquick as his father.

HATTIE LAMB
Younger daughter of Lester and Oriel

ELAINE LAMB
Twin of Hattie

RED LAMB
Youngest daughter

LON LAMB
Youngest son

SAM PICKLES
Son of a water diviner, loses his right hand in an accident at work, inherits £2000 and a rambling house in Perth from his cousin, Joel, publican of the Eurythmic Hotel in Geralton, bought from the earnings of horse racing in that name.  Sam is a habitual gambler and improvident father. 


DOLLY PICKLES
An extremely attractive woman, totally unsuited to be a wife or mother. When she is not at the pub, lolls around the house.

  

ROSE PICKLES
Is the mainstay of the house and family.  Because of the heavy burden she takes on early in life she comes to resent her whole family, but especially her indolent mother.  She suffers from anorexia nervosa several times but eventually overcomes it to produce a baby, Wax Harry.


TED PICKLES
A year older than Rose. Eventually leaves home and moves to Adelaide.


CHUBB PICKLES
The youngest son of the Pickles. Rather lazy, eventually apprenticed to a butcher.


BLACK MAN
Aboriginal man, narrates the show. Speaks as the social conscience of the country.

                                   Plus a range of smaller characters

                                  Some actors may play 2, 3 or 4 parts.
