Kirk Markley's elegantly spare set and lighting design add great depth to this production. The wood-planked stage is raked, giving the play an added sense of urgency and understated drama. These stories are [...] well suited to Markley's set, with sky-blue scrims, television sets flashing images of long western roads and one enormous telephone pole rising out of center stage like a creosote-covered crucifix.

On Kirk Markley's spare setting of bare hardwood floor, backed by a drop depicting a bright blue Wyoming sky, eight actors play Kaufman and the members of his Tectonic Theatre Project.

The production is further enhanced with an open set and [...] mood lighting designed by Kirk Markley.
