The Zagreus Napkin Experience, ranked in order from most to least traumatic:
Milton - this man is going to ask you personal questions, and if he doesn't get your answer, then he is going to ask you directly about it. Some people find this a wonderful therapeutic cathartic experience. The rest of us just want to die about it.
Will - if he can't read what you've written, then he very politely won't make a fuss about it. If he can though, there's a good chance he may say something that will pierce you straight through the heart.
Ryan - your mileage may vary depending on what it is about being napkinned that you find so mortifying. Here the questions are more-or-less incidental to the fact that this is a truly public interaction with zero sense of quiet confidence.
Theo - he doesn't seem to mind particularly what you write, which is quite restful until you realise that this lack of care means he's not going to make the extra effort to hide your napkin when pinning it up like the others do.
Georges - a rare but straightforward experience. Nothing to fear but good luck ever getting this casting!
Mitch - a gentle man and a gentleman. Doesn't seem to always do the napkin thing but is very respectful when he does, your secrets are safe with him.
Tim - doesn't napkin. Too weird. Currently fills the time with aggressive eye contact and extreme paper tearing. Traumatic in a different way.
Seirian - possibly a controversial ranking position considering he absolutely definitely reads your responses, but so beautifully carried out, felt like a genuinely collaborative act.
Luke - magnificently respectful! Will hold his hands up so he can't read what you've written, will fold the napkin up so no one else can read what you've written, absolute polar opposite of the Milton experience, a relief and a joy!

Volcano is an extremely great piece of theatre. If you're in New York, I strongly encourage you to do what you need to in order to get tickets. If you're in the UK, please join me in wishing REALLY HARD in order that we might be able to manifest a run on our silly little island
