Bloopers and continuity errors
- As Victoria begins to explain to Naomi how she killed Noah, she mistakenly begins to say, "David", but quickly corrects herself with "Daniel". (Although this probably was a mistake on Alexandra Moltke's part, it can be explained away by the fact that Victoria knows that David and Daniel look similar and confused the two for a moment. And to add to Victoria's confusion she's still recovering from being shot so she's probably feeling slightly delirious to say the least.)
- A few lines after Victoria says David instead of Daniel, Naomi also says David instead of Daniel.
- When Victoria opens the study door, a modern metal folding chair can be seen.
- At the end of Act I, when Nathan knocks on the study door, before the scene fades and as the music rises, we can hear Naomi say "What do you want, Lieutenant?", which is her first line in Act II.
- When seen from the outside, the tower room windows are almost square. From the inside however, they are long rectangles.
