* YouLookFamiliar: Roberts relies on a stable of actors (unofficially dubbed "the Hawking Players") who cycle through various roles in the different plays. It's most telling in ''Gentlemen Never Tell'', in which virtually EVERY previous actor gets a totally new role. In the first production:
** Naomi Ibatsitas, who plays colonial avenger Madam Malaika, is the dashing Rosaline Pembroke;
** Arielle Kaplan, who plays villainous Mrs. Frost, is TheIngenue Annabel Broadwater;
** Matthew Kamm, who plays Sergeant Arthur Swann, is UpperClassTwit Theo Pryce;
** Elizabeth Ross, who debuted in ''Fallen Women'' as Violet Strallan, is maid-companion Cora Little;
** Pieter Wallace, whose most notable roles include blackmailer Lord Brockton and Jack the Ripper himself, is manservant Peter Morgan;
** Sara Dion, whose main roles were Mary Jane Kelly in ''Fallen Women'' and a German secretary in ''Vivat Regina'', is the stern Emmeline Broadwater;
** And Andrew Prentice, who often plays villainous roles (including Lord Seacourse in ''Base Instruments'' and Roland Davies, TheDragon to Mrs. Frost), is butler Martin Quincy.
