FOR JOHN

Hey John.
So I had some general questions about the play in general and then I made a bunch more notes on your actual play that I can give to you. I probably should have given it to you today, sorry about that!

Questions:
How do these characters change by the end of the play?
Why don't they have names?
What does the guild do?
Who else is part of the guild?
Why do they steal from their own members?

Story:
A Thief is a member of the guild that is run by his father. He was forced into this guild at a young age but doesn't really want to be in the guild at all. He goes to his father and tells him that this will be his last stealing mission. His father doesn't approve of his son's decision and so calls the Count (from whom he is stealing) behind his son's back to tell him to kill his son. The Thief goes to the Count's house to try and retrieve his treasures and ends up finding out that his father told on him right before he gets shot. Later when the Count meets the father to confirm that he has done his duty (since he is also a member of the guild) he ends up dying because the father didn't really want his son to die at all. He wanted to show him a final test that he would either pass or fail; he was hoping that he would pass.
