  • The set was built on 4 levels: -3000mm - Below Stage, 0mm - Stage, +3000mm - 2nd Story Of Stage, +8000mm - Suspended Platform
  • Each of these levels were linked by a staircase: a L-shaped stair linked below stage and stage, a spiral stair linked the 1st and 2nd story of the stage and a straight, custom built, steel framed stair at 53 degrees linked the 2nd story to the suspended platform
  • Access to below stage was given by a permanently open L-shaped hole 1800mm in length (of both sides)
  • 3 working doors which were slammed regularly and had to hold while shoes etc. were thrown at them
