Answer 2

The correct option is this: BY NARRATING HIS PAST IN A SHORT VOICE OVER AT THE START OF THE PLAY.
Since James does not want to include any scene in the play that talks about the boy's past, he can make up for this by narrating the boy's past to the audience at the beginning of the play in short voice over in order to give the audience an idea of where the boy is coming from.
