Character Relationships in Oz

Dorothy (played by Joy Dunstan) is a protagonist in Oz. Dorothy is a sixteen-year-old groupie traveling with Wally and the Falcons when their van crashes and she hits her head. She awakens in a harsh fantasy world, where she learns she has killed a young thug. After receiving red shoes from the Good Fairy, she sets out to see the Wizard's last concert while the thug's brother pursues her. Wally / The Wizard / Record Salesman / Tram Conductor / Doorman / Face at Party (played by Graham Matters) is a protagonist in Oz. Wally is traveling with Dorothy as part of the rock band the Falcons. In Dorothy's fantasy world, the Wizard is an androgynous glam rock singer whose last concert she hopes to see. The synopsis identifies the Wizard as played by the same actor as Wally, connecting the band member from Dorothy's journey with the concert figure she seeks. Drummer / Mechanic (played by Michael Carman) appears in Oz. The Drummer / Mechanic corresponds to Greaseball, the heartless mechanic Dorothy meets in the fantasy world. He is one of the figures she encounters while trying to reach the Wizard's last concert. The synopsis characterizes him as heartless but does not describe specific actions, or provide further details about how he assists or obstructs Dorothy. Good Fairy (played by Robin Ramsay) appears in Oz. The Good Fairy is Glin, a gay clothier Dorothy encounters after waking in the fantasy world. He gives her a pair of red shoes as a reward, intending to help her see the Wizard's last concert. His gift supports Dorothy's goal and makes him a helpful figure in her journey, though the synopsis provides no further details about his actions.
