UDC co-founder George Thompson remarks: 'There’s something very special about the fact these two men were in a very confined metal box, where they had to talk together and work through their problems.' He continues: 'For a project that is rooted in storytelling, I feel we really had to have it as part of the set.'
Despite the stripped-back nature of the set, designing and building it all was not without challenges. Thompson remembers, 'We had to modify and adapt and play with it. It's a practical constraint of fitting it in, but there's also an aesthetic aspect of making it look right. We really didn't want smaller venues to get a worse version of the show.'
