Alison: I ponder your use of the word non-linear and your understanding of the story line. When Kathy comes on stage she is telling her story from the end of the relationship and going backwards in time. Jamie comes on stage and tells his story in normal chronological order. The only point during the play when they are in the same time, the same event, is in the middle -- at the wedding, and that's the only time they talk to each other. Brilliant new treatment of a common story line.
