Caulfield Military Hospital: a small office area.</p> <p class="para-char">The dominant feature is a bed veiled by a blue curtain. Thomas’ crowded desk stage front. Files stacked on tables. A few scattered chairs. A case, or a number of boxes, containing letters.</p> <p class="para-char">Other scenes in flashback rendered by light changes.</p> <p class="para-char">Spotlights where characters read or recite letters from the case as required.</p> <p class="para-char">Clothing alters little during the course of the play. A different hat, tie or jacket will suffice.</p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
