And last week the actors all answered this for the characters.
It's a question that pops up in the play several times, but is never answered definitively.
Even in the case of the murderer(s) some details were still unknown.
What I found valuable was
a) the level of detail the actors had come up with, and how specific they could or couldn't be
b) what the specifics were.
The script goes so far ; it tell us who people are as far as the script goes.
Now the actors create the characters. It is their creative talent and craft that make this production: The Repertory Mousetrap April 2013 - the art form it is.
I'll ask the cast again to tell us some character background and add questions to find the bits we can't see, but may need to make this production truly authentic.
There is more to discover. And the depth of the issues in the characters will take us closer to the truth.
