The play presents itself with many uncertainties, which I portrayed through the many exits in the design. Some of the paths lead to nowhere, some to somewhere, and others were portals to other places on the stage itself due to the absurdism in the script. In life, sometimes we ask questions, but receive no answer Although many paths were designed, the two main characters never leave the stage. This creates irony where they have many paths to go, but they remain stuck in their own state.
