The stage had to incorporate three rooms in three different houses, whilst retaining the illusion that the exterior world of each character existed beyond their room. I was trying to link the characters through the theme of illness - they all talk about doctors and pills, and reveal psychological troubles. In the set the walls are floating and fracturing from one focus point, echoing the effect of a fever.
The acting is first rate and the atmosphere they conjure up is so natural its akin to enjoying an audience in the home of the player. Major credit for this must go to designer Jessica Stack, who created a convincing and homely three section set.

The first thing which impressed me on entering the theatre was the set which is cleverly constructed on different levels to show segments of three different rooms - bedroom, kitchen and lounge.
Tracey Fletcher, Hull Daily Mail
The stage is divided into three parts by designer Jessica Stack ... Three goes triumphantly into one.
