Company Notes: Characters and how they’ve changed

We realised that there were too many characters around before- most crucially, people who did Eddie’s ‘work’ for him ie. Joe, Doug, Sam, and characters who we didn’t feel much connection to or real reason for ie. Vicki, Tony Cavaliero- it’s vital that the main dynamic, the core, is the Ashley-Pauline-Eddie triangle, and that other characters should only be there because they play a strong part in this dynamic, and aren’t too similar to others.
