    Notes on the Rules
    The rules are cumulative: once they appear, each rule applies throughout the rest of the play.
    The rules will work best if integrated into organic actions – characters finding naturalistic reasons to sit, stand, etc.
    The rules give both ‘necessary and sufficient’ conditions to the characters. By which I mean: when a rule states that ‘Matthew must sit to tell a lie,’ this means both that ‘when Matthew is sitting, he is always lying’, and that ‘when Matthew is lying, he is always sitting.’ The audience will gradually learn this from watching the play unfold. I decided not to clutter the rules by attempting to express it directly (‘Matthew may sit if and only if he is lying…’).
    This ebook was created before the end of rehearsals and so may differ slightly from the play as performed.
