Set Description
We're in the alleyway of a hospital. Dirty and industrial. Trash cans are piled up all around and thousands upon thousands of cigarette butts are scattered on the ground (if you think you’ve got enough – add five thousand more. It should be difficult to see the ground. There are five windows on stage - windows #1, 2, and 3 face the audience from stage right to left. Window #4 is the stage right exit and window #5 is the stage
left exit. There are three doors beside windows #1, 2, and 3. Appropriately numbered doors 1, 2, and 3. If the theatre has access to it -
there is a trap door, downstage center. If the theatre has any height to it, it would be nice to have a fire escape leading up to another roe of windows, but it is not necessary. I suggest finding creative ways to have unexpected entrances and exits that work with your theatre's stage.
