That does sound like fun! I saw a fun show over the weekend, where the stage was made so that it was slanted throughout the performance. I can only imagine how tiring it was to the actors walking up and down for 2 hours, remembering all the while to project their lines so that they could be heard. The show also used light very well, several times having it so that you could only see a particular actor's response from his shadow, cast on a whitewashed wall to stage left. They manipulated the sizes of the shadows by positioning the various actors' bodies just right. It was a nice effect. Overall, in fact, the effects were much better than the story in this performance. Hey! That does sound like fun!
