That’s a different situation, then.
Is there any indication in the play that Marian’s widowed mother isn’t Winthrop’s birth mother? Somehow, I think not. Which then brings up another thorny question with this revival: we’re supposed to believe that Marie Mullen (aged 68) gave birth ten years ago, in 1902? Not impossible, but very unlikely (per Wikipedia, there are 3 documented cases of women aged 50 giving birth in the 19th Century).
But I don’t think this revival is trying to make sense. |
