Claudia
Claudia is a girl in her twenties. As a child she was
left alone to develop with little parental guidance and through her
relationship with T.V. movies developed an unhealthy relationship with Horror
films, believing this to be the way life really is.
All the scenes take place in various parts of
Claudia’s apartment, which is European in style with
a great deal of kitsch décor. She is agoraphobic and is kept in touch with the outside world by her neighbours who provide her with her every day requirements. She models herself on a variety of girls often twisting her look to suit whichever film she is watching at the time and there is often
a nod to the main character in the current film within her appearance.

The script portrays her as psychotic and there is
always the feeling that although her character is scripted/can be seen as humorous,
danger is just around the corner.
However all this is normal to Claudia and she is of a cheerful
disposition in this mad world of hers.
Quentin
Claudia has an imaginary boyfriend, Quentin, who is
long suffering and a constant disappointment to her. They don’t live together
but he visits regularly and they talk on the telephone if he can’t get in to
see her. As he is part of her imagination his appearance changes to suit her
mood. Sometimes he will be a David Beckham looking guy, whilst in another scene
he will appear as a Pete Docherty type, Daniel Craig type or a Hollyoaks Babe.
If she is having a bad day he will morph into an uncouth couch potato chav with
all that brings with it.
He is as into the horror film genre as she and into
role-playing to suit her whims and moods.
Claudia has a paranoid suspicion that he is constantly
having affairs behind her back and keeps him firmly under her thumb, sometimes
restraining him or keeping him prisoner in one of the rooms.
Mrs Laderman
Claudia’s neighbour
in her 40’s. She alternately changes into a variety alter egos and is Claudia’s
friend and confidant. Living in the apartment opposite, she was Claudia’s only
link to the outside world. Although they are friends there is suspicion that
Mrs L’, has designs on Quentin. In fact she has designs on Claudia.
I have chosen to create Claudia and Quentin.
