for Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine

Lead Character

  • Undine Barnes Calles: The protagonist and narrator, a 37-year-old high-powered African American publicist. Born "Sharona" in the Brooklyn projects, she spent years crafting a sophisticated persona and distancing herself from her roots until a financial crisis forced her to return home. 

Supporting Characters

  • Hervé: Undine’s charming and romantic Argentine husband who embezzled her fortune and disappeared, leaving her broke and pregnant.

  • Guy: A sensitive and sincere man Undine meets in a court-mandated drug recovery program. He becomes her primary love interest and encourages her to embrace her true self.

  • Flow: Undine’s brother, a security guard and aspiring poet. He is deeply committed to his roots and often challenges Undine's attempts to erase her history.

  • Mother & Father: Undine’s working-class parents. They work long hours as security guards and provide a grounded, no-nonsense contrast to Undine's former elite lifestyle.

  • Grandma: Undine's diabetic, wheelchair-bound grandmother who harbors a secret heroin addiction, which she refers to as her "medicine".

  • Stephie: Undine’s "spacy" twenty-something assistant at her PR firm who later reappears in a different social context after the firm's collapse.

  • Allison: Undine's best friend from the elite social circles of Manhattan, whose life also spirals after a personal scandal involving her husband. 

  • Richard: Undine’s accountant, Richard, appears in the first scene of the play to inform her of her dire financial situation.
