Cast
& Characters
At Greenwich the play was presented with ten actors playing nearly forty parts. It would be difficult to do this adaptation with fewer than ten actors, but it would be perfectly possible to present it with many more than that.
Music
Mia Soteriou has composed a powerful and evocative score for this adaptation. Terms for its use may be obtained through Rachel Daniels. Tapes of the score - suitable for use in a production - are also available.
