The theatre production boasts to be able to use only two actors to play all of these parts. Multi role-play was essential for this production, and each character needed to be emphasised to show that they are different from all the rest. The actor, who is played by Tom Godwin, is shown to be confident through his loud and clear voice, purposeful movements around the stage and the relaxed way he sits. In contrast, Arthur Kipps, played by Christopher Godwin, is remarkably less confident and this is shown by how he mumbles and stutters when he reads from his manuscript, how he doesn’t often look up to the actor, and how he fiddles with his glasses, constantly putting them on and then taking them off. He does not give off the same relaxed, purpose driven air that the actor does. However, as the story progresses, Kipps becomes more and more self-assured and by the end of the play he seems to be equal with the actor, no longer mumbling or avoiding eye
