The action of the play takes place mostly along the banks of a small river. Not so long ago

ABOUT THE SETTING The OPEN STAGE suggests various locations. Aided by some simple lighting effects, the view should suggest a shadowy, marshy world of overhanging tree branches, lush greenery and watery vegetation.
