​I would hate to spoil anything, but I will say I was grinning ear to ear when the twist of the show was revealed.  Actors lined up downstage, red lighting and raw emotion; if you know, you know.  If you don’t know, I suggest you go watch.  It was one of those moments that reminded me why I love live theatre so much.  The characters began to unravel and you saw real, true emotion on stage.
