The walls of the set represent books, highlighting our production theme of “opening & closing of chapters of our lives.” The side walls were created from actual book pages glued together; they are no longer reliable containers, and their fragility is evident throughout the play’s action. Painted on the floor are excerpts from the play which address themes of change, connection, and understanding; characters are literally walking in the pages of their own story.
