Yes, an audio lab of course. But this proved a distinctly unmalleable choice where the play's other scenes were concerned. As for SUNSET BOULEVARD, intellectually sloppy to be sure and van Hove is a clear influence, but Lloyd's intrepid and I appreciate that. As I said, he made the show interesting, visceral even, which I didn't think was possible.

I didn't find the audio lab setting an "unmalleable" choice in Pygmalion in the scenes outside Higgins's house, actually - rather, it underscored the huge issue at the centre of his character, which is that he mostly sees other people as objects for him to study, which means he is incapable of considering the consequences of his experiment - which in turn amplifies the play's dissection of class boundaries. It's a very clever take on it.
