Saw CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION at South Coast Rep and was very impressed with the entire production. I found the play imensely satisfying and the ensemble of actors providing some of the best stage work I have ever seen - that's a bold statement but was pretty blown way by the subtle nature of their respective work...

If you have seen the play (or read the play perhaps) can someone answer a question for me -- near the end of the play - Week Five if Im not mistaken, they play a game where each of the acting students are encourged to write down on a piece of paper a secret that theyve never shared with anyone...

My friend and I had a debate over one of the characters "Secrets" -- and who actually wrote it. The last secret is read by Marty the teacher...without giving anything else away - is the secret that Marty reads HER secret or is it Theresa's secret? I took it was Marty was reading her own secret -- given the context of what was shared by the others in the group earlier - however, my friend thought the secret that Marty read was Theresa's?

Anyone have any thoughts?

The last secret is Theresa's. Marty's secret is she is she might have been abused by her father.
