The play is set entirely in Hirst's drawing room, a space that feels both luxurious and oppressive. The room is isolated from the outside world, emphasizing the characters' entrapment in a psychological limbo. While it appears comfortable, it lacks warmth and vitality, reflecting the stagnation and uncertainty that define the play. The locked door, which traps Spooner inside, reinforces the sense of confinement, while Hirst's refusal to leave for his morning walk highlights the characters' inability to escape their existential no man’s land.
