“I like to approach to the text with a feeling of exposing the audience to the environment of the play. This time, we chose to immerse them in an office environment that claims to be providing the maximum comfort for their employee.

Now it appears to be a prophetic metaphor for the climate of fear in which large companies increasingly hold their employees to ransom.”
