Persona

A Persona is a class which serves as a factory for a specific Actor. In Screenplay, it is strongly recommended to create and re-use well-known Actors across your Performances. That is, if an actor with a specified Name has a certain set of Abilities in one Performance, then ideally all actors of the same name should have that same set of abilities in other performances.

This leads to the creation of well-known Actors which are well-understood by the team who are working with Screenplay. Personas help facilitate that by providing a reusable location at which to set the actor's name and to assign & configure their abilities.

Personas in Screenplay are classes which implement the IPersona interface.
