Note to anyone directing this play: While writing the play, I imagined that the characters had certain characteristics. This is how I imagined the characters. Obviously, it’s up to you to decide whether or not you want the age and appearance of all the characters to conform exactly to what I say in the list above, because you may have good reasons in certain cases for making a different choice. In London in 2015 and New York in 2017, we sometimes ignored the suggestions above.
