Nobody Lives Forever-2009 Thought-provoking family drama involving four main characters: • River (Riv): the son; Kind, hardworking, lovely young man. Overdeveloped sense of duty, due to being brought up by not always reliable mother. • Tracey: the mother; Ageing raver and ‘free spirit’. Has lots of energy and love of life but not great on practicalities. • Phoenix (Phee): the daughter; Gifted pre-teen. Very clever in every way, but socially? Not great. • Cassie: River’s wife; A nurse. Warm hearted, with an earthy sense of humour
