Text enclosed by underscores is in italics (_italics_), except in two cases where underscores represent underlined text (“_THE BOOK OF DRILLS_” and “_THE CHRONOTHANATOLETRON_”). Text enclosed by equals is bold (=bold=). Small capital text has been replaced with all capitals. Hyphenation was inconsistent in some cases; the inconsistencies were retained (e.g.: “body-guard” and “bodyguard”, “battlefield” and “battle-field”). The author chose to have some characters in the play speaking in “dialect”. The way this dialect is spelled is inconsistent and this inconsistency was retained.
