Well, I like to have something unexpected in my writing, to keep the reader interested.

As for acting... well, I certainly didn't expect to do so well portraying a sadist like Jonathan.

Thanks for the feedback!

"There's a body in the windowseat!"

While that's a Mortimer line, and one uttered before the brotherly reunion you described, that's the one that sticks in my head from the movie.

When I am remembering the play, although I've seen other performances, I always remember yours.

Yes, dear. We know.

I understand why you love that particular line -- everything prior to that point is pure setup. That line (and the aunts' response) is the point when the comedy *REALLY* starts.

But I think you can understand why I focused on the "reunion" scene -- if I couldn't stand up to Mortimer, it would severely weaken the impact of the rest of the play. It still amazes me a bit that I did so well...

Just a quick reminder: I first portrayed Jonathan at Stevens Tech, before I came to MC. When you saw me, I was arguably a "veteran" of the role...

Oh, not to worry... I remember that you debuted at Stevens Tech.

Those were still memorable days.
