"The action takes place in the Upper West Side brownstone studio apartment of Dennis Ziegler (Kieran Culkin) for which his affluent parents willingly pay the rent to keep him at arm’s length."
Does it say in the published script that he lives in a brownstone? I didn't get that from the rather interesting set. After looking it at for a while, it seemed to me that we were supposed to think that he lives in the penthouse of the building that we see in the background. There's a smallish skylight.
But perhaps you're right. Perhaps that's supposed to be a nearby building.
I didn't realize that Culkin had appeared in the London production. Good for him that 12 years later he can still get away with it. I wonder if he played the same role in London. I could easily see him as Warren back then.
Also kind of interesting is that he and Ruffalo appeared together in the troubled Lapine play The Moment When as Playwrights, which I remember feeling would have worked just fine if the Eugene Lee set had not been terribly misconceived.
It seems that at Steppenwolf, this production was performed in the round. It was in their upstairs studio theatre, and what I've read online has said it was in the round.
