Esme in Act One and Alice are to be played by the same actress; similarly Eleanor and Esme in Act Two.

Further doubling (or tripling) is optional. The intention is that the twenty characters may be played by a company of twelve. The Royal Court used a company of eleven, with the result that Milan became Policeman 2; however, this is not the preferred option.
