Character list preliminary task

Bartender (Played by Joseph Wallace) - He is a long serving bartender who has seen many cases similar to the one that unfolds in this preliminary task, and he, along with the man who has been sacked, are the focus of the scene. He is not concerned with etiquette, although is, at the same time, not rude. He is unsympathetic for the unemployed man once he begins to complain as he has seen many customers in a worse state, and therefore becomes angry when the man he is speaking to starts feeling sorry for himself in his eyes.

Unemployed man (Played by Kasim Khan) - He is a wealthy, former stock broker who has been sacked as he has lost an enormous sum of money. He goes to the bar shown in the preliminary task in order to drink away his sorrows but after receiving a dressing down from the unsympathetic bartender he realises he is still in a far more fortunate than many others whose lives are falling apart and subsequently leaves the bar.

Drunken man - He is a minor character in the preliminary task and it is made clear that he is a regular visitor to the bar shown in the scene. His purpose is to show the unemployed man that there are many people in far worse situations than himself.
