Tom Wingfield is a free spirit who does not want to be held back by his family. Every night, Tom leaves the house to go to the movies. His mother senses this is a cover for his drinking. One night, he returns home drunk and tells Laura the story of a magician at the movie theatre. At first, this seemed to be fabricated. When he pulled the multicolored scarf, the story gained some merit.

Amanda Wingfield is a delusional but caring mother.

Laura Wingfield is shy with a slight deformity.
