Although there were no windows, he could hear city traffic and, when the power went out, the sound of several generators starting up. The bread served was often warm and fresh, indicating there was a baker nearby. If his captors had neighbors, they were probably complicit in the kidnappings; they obviously didn't report the sound of gunshots within the house to the police.

...familiarity of the characters’ lives with those of the audience, Ur’s unusual set configuration also suggests the characters’ distorted senses of their own experiences and history.Thomas E. Osborne ’08 keeps the lighting simple but elegant, shifting efficiently from warm yellow hues to harsh white spotlights. Sound designer Jennifer J. Malin ’09 continues the simplistic theme of “Bette and Boo” with a minimalist musical score. Although the transitions into the music seem abrupt at times, the mournful and plaintive themes do a brilliant...
