ETHAN Ethan is one of the three lead characters in this story, and the role is very dialogue focused. When the audience is first introduced to Ethan in the script, he is described as "mid 20s" with "boyish features" and with "mannerisms suggesting a kind of worldly courtesy and kindness; his eyes conveying a sense of late-blooming intelligence." LIAM Liam is the protagonist of this story and the audience essentially experience everything from his perspective. When we are introduced to Liam in the script, he is described as "mid 20s, innocent, boy-like". The story begins with Liam reuniting with two of his childhood friends (Ethan and James) after many years apart. JAMES James is one of the three lead characters in this story, and the role is very dialogue focused. When the audience is first introduced to James in the script, he is described as "mid 20s" with "boyish features" and with "mannerisms suggesting a kind of worldly courtesy and kindness; his eyes conveying a sense of late-blooming intelligence." The production would very much welcome your own interpretation of the character (beyond the basic outline above).
