* StraightMan: During the original writing of the play, Tim was intended to be this. In the end, Roth took on more of the role. During the first performances, Tim actually stole the show, with the audience laughing more at his lines than at any others.

* BackToFront: Played with. The scenes are performed in reverse chronological order, except that the last scene is the second half of the first. The whole thing is essentially a nonlineal version of HowWeGotHere.
