The Understudy Sheet
A cast list for if you're out for two weeks — the domestic and emotional bus factor. Eight roles down the page, each with who could stand in, what they'd need told, and whether they already know. Distinct from the Handover Card, which is one deep handover in fold panels: this sheet is breadth. The tinted panel counts roles with nobody at all — an empty understudy is the gap you cannot paper over with a good brief.
