A story about family, greed, religion, and oil, centered around a turn-of-the-century Texas prospector in the early days of the business.

SEEKING THE FOLLOWING KIDS’ ROLES:

[H.W.] 7 years old. Caucasian. He is the adopted son of the successful oil prospector, Daniel C. Plainview. His real dad was an oil buddy of Daniel’s in the early years of drilling and died in a drilling accident. H.W. is with Daniel all the time and is learning the business from an early age. He knows when to be quiet and when to speak. He is trained well and very smart. His demeanor elicits a feeling for the fury of those times: stoic, shy, hard-working, real.

[MARY] 7 years old. Caucasian. She is a farm kid who is used to hard work and ranch life. She is the daughter of the very religious man from whom Daniel buys a plot of land. Through her friendship with H.W., she expresses to him that her father hits her when she doesn’t pray. Her oldest brother is the very religiously oppressive leader of a fanatical cult. She is a good girl and, like H.W. is a bit stoic and shy and real.
