| Letitia Sludberry | |
| Character and Backstory |
Letitia lives next door to
Older the Elder and his wife. Letitia is pompous and pretentious.
She considers Older a slob and a drunkard. She owns a cat
which she regularly refers to as her pussy. Her husband, Richard, went out to buy cigars a few years ago and is late getting back. She does not miss him. She may sometime reminisce about him: "If I had my Dick here you would not talk that way." She is given to flights of imagination, particularly with the aid of chocolate cupcakes supplied by Bobby Lee Linden. She often believes she is related to some important figure in history or current events. She may speak with an obviously fake accident appropriate to the figure. Despite her disapproval of Older's drinking, she secretly drinks her glass or two of Madeira (Goes with the poem). Sometimes she may be tipsy on stage. That may make her reading of otherwise boring material (like excerpts from the Linden's terms of service) more suited to comedy. She is proud of her collection of Chinese Amphorae, which she believes are ancient artifacts from one of the Chinese dynasties. Probably the Ping dynasty. She usually refers to them as "my jugs" and offers to show them to visitors. Neither Older nor Letitia will notice the double entendre in the dialog. A visitor may notice it with initial puzzlement and later embarrassment, and with an effort to change the subject or to insert clarifying language. |

Story Lines |
Letitia vs. Older, by Thinkerer Melville Letitia regularly reports that older is drunk and unable to make the show. She is actually trying to replace him, so she will always want to do some form of entertainment (see above). Older calls her Lettie and is not bothered by her complaints. |
