The play is directed by Michael Longhurst and stars Joe Armstrong and Louie Brealey. Having been a success at the Royal Court and on Broadway (with a different cast in each place), it is now touring before a brief West End revival.
The stage is littered with dozens of balloons, with changing patterns of light on them prior to the start of the performance. Many are raised at the beginning to create the acting space, and many are revealed to be globes which can be lit from within.
