//Sure Thing//

1. //Sure Thing// is a comedy piece, so the performers can be said to be the vessels that communicate humor to the audience. 2. Yes, the audience is meant to be bystanders at the cafe where the couple's exchanges take place. 3. The play most likely takes place in a modern period, so movement would mirror how we act today. 4. A cafe in an unidentified American town 5. The characters reveal that is it a Friday night. 6. With only a cafe table and a couple of chairs, everything onstage is casual, just like the conversations between the two characters. Their costumes are just street clothes that the actors could pull out of their own closets. 7. There is no real clue as to the weather, because the action takes place inside the cafe. However, the lighting is probably not too bright, as cafes are tradtionally fairly dimly lit. 8. The characters seem to be college-educated, so they can be considered average, middle class Americans. 9. The characters' occupations are never revealed, but we can assume that they have average jobs for people their age. 10. The characters are in their late 20s 11. The characters are strangers who have just met, and the action centers around them "getting to know each other" to the point of love. 12. Both characters are equally emphasized. 13. There is an entrance/exit out of the cafe, and there seems to be another space offstage where the waiters are and where the bell sound might come from. 14. The furniture consists of a cafe table and two chairs, and props include various cafe-related accessories, such as a flower vase, napkins, salt and pepper shakers, and silverware. Again, everything is very casual and looks like a typical dating experience.
