Having seen it at the Young Vic, I mentioned many times on this board that the on stage seating was great, since all the seats at the Young Vic were around the playing area. "The very atmospheric production is performed in a clinical bright white square with actors barefoot." I am fairly certain it is a rectangle not a square.

Here in NYC it is a perfect square

No side of the performance area is any longer than the other.

I hate to beat this to death and If you click on this lin khttps://www.google.com/search?q=www.jan+versweyveld+view+from+the+bridge+set+design&client=safari&sa=X&rls=en&biw=1818&bih=1282&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ved=0CCUQsARqFQoTCI6p39KM6cgCFUR6PgodDdoIeQ#imgrc=ZFl3ZBMEtCy1FM%3A you will see lots of production photos and the set model to my eye it is a rectangle, I have always thought of the set as being a shipping container although if it is say a brown stone in Brooklyn it would be a long narrow rectangle. I have other thoughts on the set, which I won't reveal here and if one pays attention to the very first thing you hear in this production not Arthur Millers words, I sense it is a big clue and I could be wrong.
