I should not have used "cheap" to describe the set (this is Broadway so we know THAT'S not true!). I should have said "minimalist" and left it at that. I agree that a set's only requirement is to serve the needs of the play. Furthermore, so often when I watch over-elaborate sets revolving and so on, I wish they had simply used a table and chair instead. So I wasn't implying that I wanted to "get my money's worth" by having an intricately detailed set with lots of Louis XV furniture to look at. For if you have interesting characters, a fascinating plot and great dialogue (or pauses if it's Pinter), there doesn't have to be a set at all to create a completely satisfying theatrical experience.
