The first scene: in a cavernous hanging chamber, a man is put in a noose center stage and when the hanging is conducted, a trap door opens and he falls directly through it until the rope is tight.
After the first scene, the entire cavernous room of the first scene, from the floor to the ceiling of the proscenium, rises until the floor of the chamber is above the proscenium to reveal the bar where most of the play is set. |
