Because the action of the play takes place "in the mind of James Leeds," time does not always move forward. Scenes from the past, like the visit to Mrs. Norman's house in Act I, weave themselves into the fabric of the action. The entire play can be seen as a flashback: the actions and words of the beginning of the play come back again near the end.
