About the set

The action of the play takes place in a seedy bar. It is off the main street, a place where you have to detour to get to. A place you go either before or after you've been someplace else. There is a path that runs around the raked area. The floor is dry earth. The walls are purple and green, like bruising on a corpse. There is a void in the wall that has been prepared to receive something, but you can't reach up to it. There are a lot of lights on scaffolding at stage-right, some of them have been in use for many years, helping to illuminate the stories and fantasies that the people in the bar have told. You hear some more of these during the play
