Lead role. Peter is a frail, sickly and passive boy, and the first to find himself alone within the house. He suffers from maladaptive dreaming episodes to cope with stress, and will frequently fall into trances to avoid dealing with their traumatic circumstances. He is incredibly codependent, though throughout the course of the story, he finally finds the strength to support himself and the people he cares about.

Peter's ostracization and inner turmoil stems from the fact that he is a closeted gay boy who had been punished in the past for being caught with another boy at his old orphanage. Ideally, he has a soft, effeminate (but not flamboyant) voice, as most characters comment on his lack of masculinity, especially in comparison to Oliver. He also stammers and frequently talks softly enough for other characters to struggle to hear him. 

This role will involve some physicality, as Peter does get beaten and tortured with starvation during the second act. There will also be some screaming and a whole lot of crying, as he's a very emotionally sensitive and vulnerable person.

PS, CCC only lets me add three lines but I'd like a fourth, for when Peter finds his independence again: 

No. Lola, don't give up now. Think of the machine, what it did to them. What it will do to you.
