Where It All Goes Down
A "Low-Rent Motel Room on The Edge of The Mojave Desert"
The entire play takes place within May's motel room, which (as you might have gathered from the descriptor "low-rent") is not the snazziest of establishments. According to the stage directions that open the play, the room is pretty battered, drab, and old; the green walls, blue chenille bedspread, and door to the outside are described as "faded," and the tabletop is "well-worn Formica."
There seem to be no bright colors in the set decorations, creating a kind of depressed and depressing atmosphere that mirrors the characters' desolation.
