Seeking actors able to portray:
DR. FRANCIS MARTIN (plays 30-40): L.A. psychiatrist who considers his own Obsessive Compulsive Disorder “quite useful” in his life - “pushing me like a mad-man with a whistle” and, of course “it could always be neutralized through any number of pharmaceuticals...” Now, he’s hoping a medical prescription can save his marriage to Abigal Martin.
ABIGAL MARTIN (plays 30-40): Wife of Dr. Francis Martin, LA’s newest love doctor, and daughter of Mary Jane Jones, famous feminist activist who taught her brother... “To cook instead of me as a statement against a chauvinistic society’s dictation of sexist roles... she made me take boxing lessons from a guy named Jawbreaker Lou Decker.” Abigal is a soft-spoken English teacher, but not for long— Especially after she discovers that Dr Martin’s promised extraordinary garden was made of rocks.
FRANKIE the fist MARTINELLI (plays 60-70): One-time hard-nosed, featherweight Italian boxing contender turned head gardener “of the Goldberg estate, `dat is till old man Goldberg died and `da kids took ova’ and squandered `da wealth and didn’t save nothin’ for `da roses and `da pansies.”
THE EVE GRAYSON KRUPNICK (plays 60-70): Aging sixties silver screen Sex Goddess, Miss Forty Carrot Love wants to sail off on the “intimate journey” of PSYCHO-therapy with Dr. Francis Martin. Loosely based on Zsa Zsa Gabor)
WALTER KRUPNICK (plays 60-70): Married to The Eve Grayson, Walter Krupnick, a wealthy, big-time movie producer, has been “much married” too many times to remember. His interest in Dr Martin’s happily-ever-after pill is more financial self-defense. (Think Wallace Shawn in Princess Bride)
