NOTES ON THE NEW YORK PRODUCTION

The role of Li’l Bit was originally written as a character who is forty-something. When we cast Mary-Louise Parker in the role of Li’l Bit, we cast the Greek Chorus members with younger actors as the Female Greek and the Male Greek, and cast the Teenage Greek with an older (that is, mid-twenties) actor as well. There is a great deal of flexibility in age. Directors should change the age in the last monologue for Li’l Bit (“And before you know it, I’ll be thirty-five. . . .”) to reflect the actor’s age who is playing Li’l Bit.
